TWB Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose is a captivating blend of classic Laphroaig peat smoke, richly layered with notes of vanilla and caramel from the bourbon cask. Aromas of dried seaweed and iodine evoke its maritime heritage, while subtle undertones of citrus zest and sweet coconut add complexity and depth.
Palate: On the palate, this whisky offers a powerful and multi-faceted experience. The robust peat smoke is beautifully balanced by creamy vanilla and rich toffee, imparting a luxurious sweetness. Hints of charred oak and toasted almonds provide a nutty undertone, while flavors of dried fruit, particularly apricots and sultanas, add a delightful fruitiness. A touch of black pepper and spices enhances the overall complexity, creating a harmonious blend of sweet and savory.
Finish: The finish is long, warm, and satisfying, with the intense peat smoke gradually giving way to lingering notes of oak, vanilla, and a hint of brine. The subtle sweetness of caramel and dried fruits leaves a lasting impression, complemented by a gentle spice that persists on the palate.
