TWB Tasting Notes:
Nose: An enticing blend of rich dark fruits—think raisins, figs, and black cherries—mingles with subtle smoky peat. Hints of sweet molasses, dark chocolate, and a touch of earthy leather add depth and complexity.
Palate: Luxuriously smooth and full-bodied. The sweet influence of the Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead shines through with flavors of toffee, caramelized nuts, and spiced fruit cake. The gentle peat smoke interweaves seamlessly, complemented by notes of espresso and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Finish: Long and warming, leaving a delightful aftertaste of sweet dried fruits and lingering smoke. A subtle oak spice emerges, rounding off the experience with hints of vanilla and toasted almonds.
