The following tasting was done in a comparison of Ardbeg Uigeadail and Ardbeg Corryvreckan. The triple wood was tasted and nosed first, and then I when back and forth between the three. The triple wood was a newly opened bottle, the Uigeadail was ~45% full, the Corryvreckan 67% full, both opened several months earlier. The nose hints at the sweetness that is to come, but with plenty of peat. I remember the Uigeadail having a similar profile, but it now is just sweet in comparison. Oddly, the Corryvreckan seems downright muted, albeit slightly sweet. The entry is all Sherry sweetness. Dates, prunes, and raisons dominate. Of note is how thin the moithfeel is, especially considering the ABV and pedigree. The smoke and peat slowly build, transitioning gracefully from the Sherry to hickory smoked pulled pork and brisket. Yum. The finish has a somewhat jarring shift from the rich and savory Sherry/BBQ elements to burned rubber. But this IS a Laphroaig, so I would be disappointed if I didn't get punched in the mouth. But this is the problem. The overall flavor profile is muted in comparison to the Uigeadail. It might be the power ABV (48% vs 54.2%), or it might potentially be the difference in age of these NAS bottlings. As an aside, the alcohol was barely even detectable until well into the finish, which also leads me to believe that there is some relatively old whisky in the blend. However, the Corryvreckan was the most subtle of the three, albeit with the most oily and thick moithfeel, and the flavors that are there are complex and come on like a hurricane. I think the Uigeadail is superior in every way, but perhaps this isn't quite am apt comparison. A symphony to the Triple's ballad. The Corryvreckan isn't a correct comparison either, for many of the same reasons, but also due to profile. The triple wood lies somewhere between the two Ardbegs in terms of sweetness/peat, but lacks the mouth-feel, complexity, and boldness. In any event, while a fine dram, I doubt this will be a permanent addition the rotation, but I wouldn't think twice about ordering at a bar or pub.
