TWB Tasting Notes:
Nose: Opening with an inviting wave of sweet vanilla and toasted oak, the aroma unfolds to reveal hints of fresh citrus zest and ripe orchard fruits. A whisper of sea breeze lingers in the background, giving a subtle nod to Bruichladdich’s coastal origins.
Palate: A rich, velvety mouthfeel brings forth layers of honeyed malt and gentle spice. The influence of the second-fill fresh oak cask imparts soft notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, balanced by a delicate undercurrent of sea salt and sweet barley. Subtle flashes of green apple and pear provide a bright, fruity lift.
Finish: Medium to long, carrying through with a pleasing warmth from the oak-driven spices. A lingering sweetness of vanilla and toffee melds with a touch of maritime brine, leaving a well-rounded, softly spiced finale.
