TWB Tasting Notes:
On the nose, an inviting bouquet of smoldering peat embers entwines with rich aromas of raisins, figs, and a hint of toasted almonds. The palate reveals a robust fusion of smoky malt and sweet sherry influences, featuring dark berries, cinnamon, and subtle notes of nutmeg. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of maritime brine, oak spice, and a gentle whisper of sweet smoke.
