Tasting Notes

TWB Tasting Notes: On the nose, rich aromas of dark cherries, plums, and raisins emerge, complemented by earthy peat smoke and a hint of leather. The port influence is evident, adding layers of sweetness and red fruit. On the palate, it's full-bodied and complex, with intense flavors of blackberries, figs, and dark chocolate, intertwined with smoky peat, dried spices, and a touch of oak. The sweetness from the port cask harmonizes with the robust smoke, creating a beautifully balanced contrast. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dark fruits, soft peat, and a gentle spiciness. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving a rich, smoky aftertaste that rounds off the tasting experience. This whisky is both powerful and refined, perfect for those who appreciate the blend of peat and port cask aging.
