Tasting Notes

TWB Tasting Notes: Nose: Expect a powerful aroma of rich peat smoke intertwined with seaweed, iodine, and hints of maritime brine. Subtle notes of vanilla, citrus zest, and aged oak add complexity and depth. Palate: Full-bodied and robust, the palate likely showcases intense smoky flavors balanced with sweet malt, dark chocolate, and a touch of spiced fruit. The refill hogshead imparts gentle oak tannins and allows the spirit's natural character to shine through. Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying, with lingering notes of peat smoke, toasted oak, and a delicate hint of sweetness fading into a gentle spice.
