Morris Whisky is an Australian single malt whisky brand rooted in a remarkable heritage that stretches back to 1859, when George Francis Morris established a small vineyard and winery near Rutherglen in northeastern Victoria. Over 165 years later, the Morris name remains synonymous with craftsmanship in the region. The whisky chapter began in 2016 when Casella Family Brands, which had acquired Morris Wines, formed the subsidiary Copper & Grain Distilling Co. to bring a distilling vision to life at the historic Rutherglen estate. Morris Whisky is crafted using 100% Australian premium malted barley and matured in wine barrels sourced from Barossa and Coonawarra — two of Australia's most celebrated wine regions. This approach gives the whisky a distinctly regional Victorian character, marrying the estate's deep winemaking expertise with the emerging art of Australian single malt production. The first distillations took place in 2016, with full-scale production following shortly thereafter under the guidance of head distiller Andrew Peck. Morris has quickly established itself as one of Australia's premier single malt producers, earning recognition as a pioneering force in the country's growing whisky industry. Its portfolio reflects a uniquely Australian style shaped by local barley, distinctive climatic conditions, and the influence of exceptional wine casks.
