Tasting Notes

TWB Tasting Notes:

Nose: On the nose, this whisky presents a delicate bouquet of honeyed vanilla and fresh orchard fruits, such as ripe apples and pears, with soft citrus notes adding a zesty freshness. There’s a gentle oak presence that provides a subtle backdrop to the fruit-forward aromas.

Taste: The palate is smooth and creamy, offering a delightful balance of sweet malt, juicy apples, and pear compote. Hints of toffee and vanilla intertwine with the fruity notes, while a light spice—cinnamon and a touch of white pepper—adds complexity. The refill American hogshead cask influence remains refined, imparting soft oak flavors without overwhelming the natural spirit character.

Finish: The finish is long and clean, with lingering notes of sweet vanilla, gentle oak, and a hint of fresh citrus, leaving a refreshing and well-rounded conclusion. The combination of creamy malt and delicate fruits ensures a sophisticated experience with a subtle complexity.
