TWB Tasting Notes:
On the nose, gentle aromas of honeyed malt and vanilla intertwine with hints of sea breeze and citrus zest, evoking the maritime heritage of the distillery. The palate is smooth and richly layered, revealing flavors of creamy toffee, ripe orchard fruits, and subtle notes of toasted almonds. The refill hogshead imparts a delicate oak influence, allowing the whisky's natural sweetness and complexity to shine. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions of sweet malt, soft spice, and a touch of salty sea air.
