MorrisRutherglen36SouthAustralianWhisky(700ml)

Sans Morris enter the massive blended whisky market with an Australian take. Crafted in the famous Rutherglen wine region and matured in the family’s x-red wine casks, it employs both malted barley and wheat in the mashbill. Clearly designed for approachability, from the malty nose to the medium-bodied ‘blend feelâ€? this bridges a gap between entry level bourbon and single malt, kissing the mouth with a soft lick of vanillan oak, lighter grains playing second fiddle while a delicate peachy fruitiness rounds out with balancing spices. Enjoyed over ice it’s a success, but it flattens out with minimal dilution. At the asking price, well worth considering over big brand Scottish blends. 40% Alc./Vol.
