THE JAZZ CRESCENDO
Matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon American Oak casks.
The alluring rhythmic beat of a sweetly honeyed bass anchors a richly composed melody. Gradually, from this sea of smooth harmonies, there comes a call to transcend scales. A solo breaks free, its golden, shimmering tones rising to sublime heights in a haunting, captivating hymn to jazz.

Tasting Notes
Nose
A mellow, crisp nose with quite some impact. The top notes are very faintly waxy but are mainly mineral and maritime, suggesting soft sea breezes, slaked lime and salt crystals; the mid-notes become sweeter, hinting at dusty heather pollen, while the base is lightly woody and earthy, the earth faintly scorched. Late on, the aromas become rounder, with a toffee-sweet suggestion of vanilla fudge. A drop of water softens the impression.
Palate
Very smooth and as expected, waxy in texture, the robust taste sweet with toffee notes then lightly salty, and soon cradled by a growing peppery warmth. A dash of water integrates these elements beautifully.
Finish
Long, smoothly dry and spicy with a trace of dried coconut in the aftertaste. A dash of water evens things out while keeping the length.
