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.
