This release is basically a Laphroaig Quarter Cask with an extra finish. It is aged in bourbon oak, then in smaller casks, which speed up the maturation (1/4 cask = +/- 120 litres – originally used to transport whisky on horseback). And now this Triple Wood is getting a third maturation in European oak, oloroso sherry butts.

Nose: lots of camomile and a bit of butter. Smoky with a sweet edge. A bit of coconut, banana and apple. Basically the same flavours as the Quarter Cask, but maybe a tad less “barbecued”, more musty and with an additional layer of balanced sweetness. Less peat smoke than a regular Laphroaig, but just as medicinal (iodine).

Mouth: full-bodied and pretty fruity. Again lots of camomile and camphor, like peated camomile tea. Not immediately smoky and quite a gentle, velvety impact. Toffee and vanilla. Liquorice. Woodsmoke.

Finish: Creamy aftertaste, rather sweet with hints of coffee and chocolate.

Får höja till nio. En balanserad fruktig, rökig, krämig Laphroig med bra kraft. 48% måste var optimalt :) såå fin i vår vinterstorm

Toppen whisky. Laphroaigs explosioner i smak och doft men till skillnad fån deras standard malt är denna grymt bra balanserad. Rekommenderas!
