TWB Tasting Notes:
On the nose, anticipate rich aromas of dried fruits—raisins, figs, and sultanas—intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, leather, and a hint of spice. The palate is full-bodied and complex, revealing layers of sherry sweetness accompanied by flavors of stewed fruits, toasted nuts, and subtle oak influences from the refill sherry hogshead. Hints of ginger, clove, and a touch of smoked meat add depth and intrigue. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of sweet spices, dark fruits, and gentle oak tannins.
