Laphroaig Triple Wood

Peat smoke and sweet, brown sugar barbecue with raisins and tar on the nose. A subtle herbiness underlies the finish on the nose. The initial sip gives a rush of sweet, nutty smoke that briefly transitions to smoldering oak before the charred pork barbecue flavors take over and settle in for the long haul. The mouthfeel is thin and oily, coating just enough for the barbecue to get your mouth watering.

Compared to the 10 year, adds an additional layer of cask influence (oak for sure) and overall complexity. Retains the strong, medicinal peatiness that you would expect from Laphroaig. A beast.

peat = good Laphroaig = peat 3x wood = smooth lasting sweetness good peat with a long smooth sweet finish.

Opening the bottle a huge cloud of smoke came out thought maybe a genie came out of there! Very smoke ash gunpowder nose some sweetness. Taste of peat charred oak wood barrels and salt but ends sweet which made it a pleasant experience as I usually don’t like peat. Hard to place the sweet flavour but with a little water it was caramel and a lot smoother
