TWB Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you'll encounter inviting aromas of vanilla, honey, and fresh orchard fruits, with subtle hints of citrus and toasted oak—a signature of its bourbon hogshead maturation.
The palate is smooth and well-rounded, revealing layers of creamy toffee, sweet malt, and ripe pears. Gentle notes of almond and a touch of spice add depth and complexity.
The finish is medium to long, leaving a warm and satisfying impression of caramelized sugars and soft oak nuances.
