MORRIS RUTHERGLEN SMOKED MUSCAT BARREL AUSTRALIAN WHISKY 48.3% 700ML

MORRIS RUTHERGLEN SMOKED MUSCAT BARREL AUSTRALIAN WHISKY 48.3% 700ML

A radical, eccentric and never to be repeated release combining x-red wine and muscat barrels with alligator-char barriques.

Morris delivers similarly fascinating, shape-shifting aromatics, conjuring fruit mince pies, port soaked tobacco, white chocolate and even suggestions of mezcal. The smokiness is nothing like peat - more like smouldering wood, which makes perfect sense given the radical finishing.

At first taste you might consider it a dessert malt, but the Muscat is managed so that the early sweetness makes it accessible without being confected. Fruit cake and stewed plum flavours build in a malty middle before the barrel char kicks in with a warm blanket of wood smoke and spice.

The finish is dappled with cranberry infused dark chocolate, fading with a light astringency. Smoke and muscat rebound late.
