Morris Australian Single Malt Whisky Tokay Whisky & Wine Bundle
In Partnership with Morris Australian Single Malt Whisky
The first word in Australian single malt whisky, Morris’ latest effort is an expression unlike any other. As one of the only distilleries in the world that matures and finishes whisky in its own red wine barrels—sourced and prepared by hand from the family winery—the Morris experience is one of incredible complexity, serving up a depth of flavour that will go toe-to-toe with the most highly regarded distilleries around the world.
Made from local ingredients and aged in predominantly French oak ex-red wine casks at the Morris regional distillery in Rutherglen, Victoria, Morris’ Tokay Barrel Whisky serves up layers of creamy malt, fresh fruits, and hints of butterscotch. This makes it an ideal pairing for the brand’s Rutherglen Classic Topaque (Tokay) desert wine and its complex, intense and luscious palate. If Dad’s a lover of whisky and wine, you’ll find no better way to make his day.
Enjoy free shipping on all Father’s Day shopping! Place your order by August 22nd to ensure timely delivery. Additionally, we’re offering a 10% discount to all Man of Many readers on both Tokay products. Simply use the code “MANOFMANY” at morriswhisky.com.

Things to Consider for Foodie Gifts
When it comes to food gift ideas, simply wrapping a bow on a new cookbook isn’t quite enough. In fact, if you want to get the special occasion right, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Price: Perhaps the most obvious consideration, the price will inevitably play a factor in your purchasing decision. While you may want to splash out for a significant birthday or gifting event, more often than not, you’ll be aiming around the $50-$100 mark for most gifts. In the foodie world, however, gifts don’t exactly come cheap. To get the most out of your foodie gift idea, don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price.
- Interests: Before you pull the trigger on a cheap gift, it’s important that you consider the giftee’s interests. While some ideas might be frugal, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are good.
