Hope in every sip

Australian Single Malt Signature Whisky, Morris; Rutherglen, 40% ABV, 700ml, $95.

I love a good fortified wine. Growing up near Rutherglen, I was spoilt for choice. The world-famous region has left me with expensive taste when it comes to a quality tawny or muscat. So what do Rutherglen fortifieds have to do with whisky? Morris of Rutherglen - making world-renowned fortifieds for more than 150 years - has made a single-malt whisky. It's a gorgeous golden colour, and is slightly sweet on the nose, displaying remnants of raisins and caramel so famiilar in its muscat. It makes sense, Morris has finished their whisky in their fortified barrels. It works splendidly, especially during a cold, dark winter like this one. There's hope in each sip. This is a refined, delicate whisky Australia should be proud of. Available online and Dan Murphy's.
