TWB Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you'll encounter a harmonious blend of smoky peat and sweet vanilla, intertwined with hints of toasted oak and a whisper of sea salt. The palate unfolds with layers of rich sweetness—think caramelized brown sugar and ripe orchard fruits—balanced by Lagavulin's signature peat smoke. Subtle notes of honey, creamy toffee, and a touch of citrus zest add complexity and depth. The finish is long and enchanting, leaving a warm, lingering embrace of sweet smoke, gentle spice, and a delicate hint of maritime character.
