Australian Single Malt Whisky

Single malt whisky distilled in Australia from 100% malted barley. Defining producers include Morris of Rutherglen, Sullivans Cove, and Starward. Often matured or finished in ex-Australian fortified-wine casks (Apera, Muscat, Tawny) — yielding rich dark-fruit, raisin, and oak-spice character distinct from Scotch. Typically 40-48% ABV.
