Description
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) has released the Jazz Trio, three 22-year-old whiskies from the same Sherry cask which have been separated and finished in different casks to ‘showcase the influence of additional maturation’.
The whiskies, originally from Macallan, were matured for 20 years in the same oloroso Sherry puncheon before being separated for a secondary maturation period of around 18 months.
The Jazz Trio bottling labelled 24.134 A Dark Allurement, has been finished in a first-fill oloroso hogshead and described as ‘dense with a hugely syrupy texture full of salted almonds’. Bottled at a cask strength of 56.7% abv, only 225 bottles of A Dark Allurement have been produced.
The second, labelled 24.135 An Opulent Temptation, has been finished in a first-fill Pedro Ximinez hogshead and is said to contain notes of ‘raspberry jam, dark chocolate-covered prunes and black pepper’. An Opulent Temptation is bottled at cask strength of 56.9% abv with only 241 bottles currently in existence.
Finally, 24.136 A Sweet Seduction has been transferred from the oloroso puncheon to a second-fill ex-Bourbon barrel, and is said to be ‘thrilling’ with elements of ‘muscovado sugar sweetness’ on the palate.
Only 218 bottles of A Sweet Seduction are available, bottled at a cask strength of 58.3% abv.
