Description

A limited-edition 10-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Clynelish, released as part of Diageo's 2023 Special Releases collection, themed 'Spirited Xchange'. Bottled at natural cask strength of 57.5% ABV, this expression was matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon American oak casks. Named 'The Jazz Crescendo,' it aims to evoke the sweet and soulful richness of classic American jazz, with a design by Sanford Greene. It is unchillfiltered and presents a complex profile of waxy, maritime, fruity, and spicy notes.
