Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes from TWB.
Nose: Intense peat smoke, maritime brine, hints of iodine, seaweed, and tar.
Palate: Rich and complex, with layers of smoky peat, oak, leather, and dark chocolate. A touch of dried fruit sweetness emerges, along with notes of pepper and spice.
Finish: Lingering and warming, with a balance of smoky, earthy, and sweet flavors. The peat smoke fades into a long, savory finish with a touch of saltiness.
