Description
Laphroaig Triple Wood
Triple Wood is an extension of the Quarter Cask expression and is special for its triple maturation, which creates a unique blend of Laphroaig’s signature peat-smoked liquid with softer notes of fruit and spices. First maturing in ex-bourbon barrels, second maturation in quarter casks and then a third maturation in European oak casks previously used for Oloroso sherry. This final stage allows for a slow maturation – all leading to a soft, complex and fully rounded flavour. When tasted, Triple Wood begins with a subtle sherry sweetness before offering up spiciness and nuttiness and a huge peat flavour.
