Wilsons Tom Buck is named after an 18th century Irish rake and politician named Thomas Whaley. He was a flamboyant example of reckless extravagance and, as gambler and libertine, inherited the appellation of being a 'young buck'. His lifestyle inspires a recipe that proclaims 'high passions, a lively imagination, and a spirit that could brook no restraint', as defined by the man himself. Naturally the challenge was undertaken and begins with a selection of aromatic and burly tobaccos that are expertly fermented and aged to provide a solid base to which wisps, pinches, drops and measures of several citrus, floral and spicy notes can be detected that create a whole that outweigh the sum of the parts. This mid-brown powdered concoction has a medium-fine grind with low humidity. There is little offense to the nose besides a well rounded and complex aroma that delivers a wallop of nicotine. This is a fitting commemoration to a time long gone but fondly remembered.
