Overview
In 2022 we launched the Inaugural Morris Tokay Barrel. It exploded into the global whisky-sphere and set the world on fire. These days, everyone’s aching to get their hands on the distillery’s incredible liquid.
Our Members voted our inaugural Tokay Barrel their second favourite Whisky of the Year. And it missed out on the top spot by a mere 0.9%. It was 2022’s #1 Aussie whisky AND it won Double Gold at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition within a month of its release. Talk about a high achiever!
Ask anyone who tried the Tokay Barrel, and they’ll tell you how good it was. And we’re pretty sure anyone who tastes the Inaugural Port Barrel will tell you the same thing - this is an absolutely chewy and decadent feast of plump stone fruits and nutty caramel.
Also one of the oldest and most awarded wineries in Australia, Morris is renowned for making world-class fortified wines. So they have access to exceptional barrels for maturing whisky.
Already frothing? Listen to this. Everyone who gets the Inaugural Aged Port Barrel also gets a 375ml bottle of Morris 2012 Vintage Port. This rich and elegant Port is the perfect pairing for this whisky — a showcase of cherries, fresh berries and nutmeg on the palate and a finish of fruity toffee and dark chocolate.
It’s a rare opportunity to taste a whisky and a fortified that came from the very same place and Morris is one of the few distilleries on the planet that can give us that privilege.

Morris Whisky’s History
