Barley
We create a unique MORRIS Whisky style that speaks to our home in Rutherglen. Made with nothing but 100% Australian premium malted barley which is then brewed and fermented in our family owned brewery for total quality control.
Distillation
We use the original still, which was made in the 1930s in Adelaide and installed at the Morris of Rutherglen site in 1941. It has been meticulously restored and in recognition of its awakening after decades of slumber, the still has been named “Aurora”, a nod to the princess in Sleeping Beauty. We also have a second identical still called "Ella" as she too will come to the ball. Pure filtered water is then used throughout the production process.
Barrels + Maturation
The barrels used for maturation are a combination of French and American oak, ex-red wine barrels sourced from our family-owned wineries in the Barossa and Coonawarra regions of South Australia. They are prepared by hand at our private cooperage to a specific method, which imparts the unique Morris of Rutherglen flavour profile.
Finishing
Our single malt whiskies are skilfully finished in hand selected barrels; some of which have held the world’s most highly awarded fortified wines from Morris of Rutherglen. It is the art in our finishing technique that creates the unique and distinctive MORRIS Whisky taste, and allows us to experiment with depth of flavour imparted from our award winning fortified wines.
