The single malt, single cask, 18 year old whisky was distilled in the heart of the Scottish Speyside, a region known for bottling the noblest spirits. Its wavering flow, woody bouquet, and copper color all reminisce of the improvisational music.
This exigently selected grand cru pays special tribute to Montreux’s love for all that jazz. Like in jazz, whisky is best enjoyed by connoisseurs because of its complex, yet permissive construct, provoking sensorial reactions and emotional response even before the experience begins.

All senses join cohesively in a quest to appreciate the dram, while an irresistible feeling of joy comes out as a reward.
