Nose Concentrated aromas of sweet toffee, malt, butterscotch, and a distinct nuttiness.
Palate Delicate muscadelle, a warm, elegant sweetness with rich, intense mocha, soft caramel, and a touch of oak.
Finish Luxurious and elegant, as creamy malt intertwines with luscious fruits, bringing home a long and velvety finish.
Food Match Goat’s cheese and vegetable frittata followed by pecan pie.
Overview
In an almost unheard-of debut, Morris Tokay Barrel has exploded into the global whisky-sphere with a Double Gold medal at the world’s most prestigious spirits competition, the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, sharing top spot with an elite line-up of whisky titans including our very own Glenfiddich Gran Couronne 26 Year Old, Ardbeg 25 Year Old, and 2021’s overall winner, the ‘Best in Show’, Glen Scotia 25 Year Old. It also won Master at the Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2022 - the only World Whisky to do so.
Not only that, our Members voted it their second favourite Whisky of the Year. And it missed out on the top spot by a mere 0.9% of votes.
Morris Tokay Barrel is decadent whisky perfection made right here in Australia. It's testament to our amazing local industry, and all the more special because this collector’s edition from Morris of Rutherglen, their first ever special release, was created exclusively for us and our fellow Members.
Head Distiller Darren Peck has created a truly special, sticky, and decadent dessert whisky for your sipping pleasure, that not only showcases the distillery’s bright, malty, and clean spirit, but their delicate Topaque fortified wine.
Morris Whisky Tokay Barrel was first matured in rejuvenated wine casks before being finished in hand selected fresh Topaque barrels that held Morris’ highly esteemed, gold medal winning Cellar Reserve Grand Topaque (Tokay) for more than 15 years.
Non-chill filtered and bottled at 47.8% ABV, the natural golden amber colour hints at what’s to come. It's toffee, butterscotch and nutty on the nose, muscadelle grapes with more rich and intense toffee, mocha and soft caramel on the palate before finishing big with a supernova of creamy malt and luscious fruits. You need this sticky deliciousness in your life.
Morris Whisky Tokay Barrel is destined to be a hugely sought-after collectors’ item in years to come.

Morris Whisky’s History
