About Team Azzurro:
A Saga of Determination

Azzurro's rich blue hull, sparkling white deck, and faultless stainless-steel fittings make it a captivating sight and a serious contender in races nationwide.In the 2015 Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Azzurro claimed overall victory, foreshadowing the team's relentless pursuit of excellence.

The 75th Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race saw Jack Kliner skippering Azzurro to a remarkable 3rd overall in IRC and 1st overall on ORCI. Now, with Round the World solo Yachtswoman Jessica Watson joining the crew, Azzurro is set to conquer new heights in the 2023 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

Nose: The whisky greets you with a vibrant bouquet of oceanic freshness, reminiscent of the crisp sea air along the Bass Strait. Expect subtle hints of vanilla and caramel from its time in American oak ex-bourbon casks, intertwined with a light, fruity aroma that suggests apples and pears, possibly influenced by the French oak Tawny cask finish.

Palate: On tasting, the whisky reveals a complex and richly layered profile. The initial notes are likely to be of sweet honey and smooth vanilla, a nod to its bourbon cask heritage. This sweetness is balanced with a gentle spice, bringing in flavours of cinnamon and nutmeg. As it develops on the tongue, expect a delightful interplay of dried fruits - think raisins and apricots - characteristic of the French oak influence.

Finish: The finish of this whisky is where the maritime inspiration truly comes to the fore. It's long and warming, with a lingering saltiness that evokes the ruggedness of the Bass Strait. The oak influence remains evident, leaving a pleasant dryness and a hint of aged wood, alongside a whisper of tannins from the French oak.

Overall, this limited edition single malt is a harmonious blend of tradition and adventure. It captures the essence of yacht racing with its bold and dynamic character, while the dual cask maturation adds a luxurious depth and complexity, making it a fitting tribute to the tenacity of Team Azzurro and the enduring spirit of the Sydney to Hobart race.
