TWB Tasting Notes:
Nose: A harmonious blend of creamy vanilla and sweet caramel greets the senses, followed by notes of ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear. Subtle hints of coconut and almond emerge, intertwined with delicate floral undertones and a whisper of sea breeze from its Islay origins.
Palate: Smooth and velvety, the palate is treated to layers of honey, butterscotch, and soft toffee. The sweetness is beautifully balanced by zesty citrus notes and a gentle spice of ginger and white pepper. The first-fill bourbon cask imparts nuances of toasted oak and a touch of cinnamon, adding depth and complexity.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of vanilla custard, warm spices, and a subtle hint of malted barley. The finish is clean, leaving a refreshing trace of sweet fruit and a mild oakiness.
