TBWC Elsburn 3YO 500mL

The nose is deep and inviting, belying its youth. It opens with dried red fruits, dark honey, and spiced fig cake, followed by waves of vanilla, toasted hazelnuts, and pipe tobacco. Hints of cherry wood smoke, leather, and mulled wine spice reflect the influence of active casks—often including sherry, marsala, or port. On the palate, it’s thick, chewy, and dessert-like. Flavours of sticky toffee pudding, clove, cinnamon bark, and stewed plums dominate the first sip, layered with molasses, roasted nuts, and dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is viscous and warming, with a clear nod to rich European oak and bold wine-seasoned barrels. The finish is long and warming—lingering with notes of raisin bread, cocoa powder, dry spice, and a touch of sweet smoke and oak char.
