100 / 100"Like 100 Christmases in the one glass. Ancient material blended across decades and decades, delivering immense depth, layering and complexity. Smells of dark toasted wood, dark chocolate, currants, raisins, plum paste and alluring, fragrant spices. The palate has a smooth, pillowy texture, rich and spicy raisins and ebb and flow of dried-plum flavours, emanating warmth in treasured layers. Drink now."

100 / 100
"This has a tsunami of luscious spices, raisins dipped in chocolate, and dried fruit flavours, yet has enhancing freshness, length and a bright finish, rancio in high relief. This Rutherglen muscat has to be given 100 points."
- James Halliday
Tasting Notes
Morris of Rutherglen 'Old Premium' Rare Liqueur Muscat is a masterpiece of carefully blended fortified wines, combining special parcels of wines from a range of the great vintages which have been slowly maturing in small oak casks. The older wines used impart complexity and intensely concentrated lusciousness and raisin flavours. The younger wines add fresh fruit characters to provide perfect freshness integrated with aged wines.
