Laphroaig Triple Wood

General description

48. Чуть дымнее квортера. Но вцелом оба водянисты, непонятно где там вообще 48 градусов.

General description

In de neus de pittige turfrook van Laphroaig als verbrand plastic, maar ook verbrand hout komt aan bod, vermengd met vanille, rood fruit en cacao. Heerlijk. Een romig mondgevoel met een fijne kruidigheid, vanille, rook, rozijnen. De rook blijft lang hangen. Met water ruik je meer zeewier, cacao, kersen en rook. De smaak wordt veel zachter en fruitiger. Bij het doorslikken komt het ziltige randje naar voren en een nasmaak met rook en zwarte koffie. Het romige gevoel op de tong blijft. Heel fijn!

Deze heeft minder diepte dan de Lore, maar komt in de buurt.

Nose

Rook, zeewier, cacao, verbrand hout, leer

Palate

Zoet, ziltig, cacao, kersen, vanille

Finish

Zilt, rook

sweet peat. a delicious twist. smells like wood and peat fresh out of the gate but then turns to fresh gingersnap cookies and molasses. tastes divine. sherry and barrel

General description

93/100

General description

I didn't use the glencairn but a V shaped glass, so I didn't pick up a lot of things on the nose. My fault, but I have to give less points, next time gonna do it right.

Nose

toffee, vanilla, sweet, almond and obv peat.

Palate

So much salt! Like it
Subtle influence of the sherry
Peaty, but more like forest humus

Finish

Oaky, smoky finish. I didn't get the sherry here, maybe next time

General description

A quintessential Laphroaig. Intense, smokey, peaty, powerful. This is my kind of whisky.

General description

Laphroaig smoke up front, with a little sweetness/woody notes on the taste

General description

Typischer Laphroaig Rauch in der Nase: medizinisch-maritim, fast fischig, Austern kommen mir in den Sinn. Dahinter etwas süß und vanillig.

Im Mund weich, voll und rund, dabei fruchtig-süß.

Der Abgang fügt eine ordentliche Portion Zartbitterkeit der Eiche hinzu, behält aber den Grundcharakter der vorherigen Eindrücke.

Schöne runde Laphi Abfüllung: voll, süß-rauchig, charakteristisch Islay. Im Vergleich zum Ardbeg An Oa (ähnliche Fass-Zusammensetzung) weniger Eiche, etwas weniger süß und weniger grasig (während der Ardbeg "grün" wirkt, wirkt der Laphroaig "gelb").

Note: 2+

Finish

7/10

General description

laphroaig with sherry and power

General description

perfect blend of peat, wood and sweetness. not too much of any of it. just enough peat for that peat head. worth buying anytime

General description

the nose on this whisky is quite brilliant, but that spot on balance of fruity richness, wood, smoke and honey doesn't really reappear in the taste or finish, or this would easily be a (near) 90 points whisky. Overall I really like this, but I feel I prefer the quarter cask a bit more as it has a bit more depth, some 'oomph' that the Triple Wood is lacking.

Nose

90

sweet, fruity, cake, marsipan, (vanilla)oil, nutty, old wood, you really need to work and take your time to pick up some of the usuual, in your face Laphroaig mineral-ashy-peaty signature

Taste

85

A surprisingly soft arrival with wood and nuts at first and only the avalanche of mineral peatiness and campfire smoke second - but it's an avalanche none the less.

Finish

83

long, oily, peaty and smokey with some vanilla in the back

General description

Well worth your attention, peat smoke with the sweetness coming through from Sherry and Bourbon casks. The quarter casks add a robust woody depth. Another winner from Laphraoig.

General description

heavy peat, smoke, savory, bit harsh

General description

nice, peaty whiskey with some sweet notes

General description

if you haven't tried this, don't wait..well worth adding to ones collection..

Nose

peat and smoke.. perfect blend and unique

Palate

the smoke and peat grab your attention from the start .. but for a 48%abv it is quite easy to drink

Finish

the finish to me was a nice linger of smoke and wood, very complex, leaves me wanting another taste to see what else hides in there.

General description

much better than regular quarter cask

General description

Clearly more round than it's regular cousin, the oakiness is present and mellows flavors down while maintaining the smokiness of the peat. The liquid coats your mouth like an oil. Persistent notes of honey, smoke, almonds.

General description

good smoke, but still a light flavor

General description

Turf en zoetig, heerlijk! Je ruikt Sherry en proeft turf. Zeer smaakvolle whisky, heel mooi in balans. De nasmaak zoetig.

Nose

Sherry

Palate

Turf

Finish

Sherry

General description

Süß und Frucht in der Nase, Rauch dezent zu riechen. Schön Rauch im Mund, toll die Eiche, süß und langer Abgang.

General description

Sehr leckere Rauch-Holz-Süße-Kombinatin.

General description

Heeft een lekkere peat

General description

Sweetness from sherry and oaky wood notes from the quarter cask stand out, besides the familiar smoke and peat. Its peaty, smoky, slightly sweet and fruity with a fairly long and smooth finish - very enjoyable. But comparing the distilleries NAS offerings, I prefer the Quarter Cask over this, just slightly, and its largely due to difference in price point.

General description

Strong and kind at the same time with 5/4 smokeyness, wood and spices at the palate, long finish with spices, but with honey and vanilla at the very end.

General description

A very intense whisky. Very Laphroaig. I enjoyed this imensely.

Nose

Tar, as in old boathouses.

Palate

Bonfire

General description

Smoky, smooth. Nice...

General description

smooth flavor. medicinal, peat, vanilla. The sweetness of the sherry is also there, not overpowering but well balanced. Exellent whisky!!

General description

boozy, peat

General description

toller Laphi...weich,komplex mit leichter Sherry-süsse

General description

extremely smooth for a 48%. soft flavor, peat well balanced. subtle on nose. water brings out vanilla and flower smells. water adds bite!! oak!!

General description

Gentle but peated with interesting taste and complexity

General description

Last week I replaced my finished Quarter Cask with this unfiltered and uncoloured Triple Wood.
Before beeing botlled at 48%, it had triple maturation. Bourbon, quarter and oloroso casks.
Clear traces of all three can be found troughout te tasting.

Starting of the nosing with the bourbon part, a sweet vanilla and caramel at front. Followed by nutty wood and a floral touch. Orange, lemon and a rubbery salty peat, covered with tones of sherry complete this very allround nosing.

Sweet smoke on the taste. A lot sweeter, but less
tarry/peaty than other Laphroaig's I tasted.
The bourbon caramel and the oloroso sherry fruits are also present.
The spicy part comes from clove pepper and liquorice.

The medium/dry/spicy/peaty/sweet/sherry finish has a lot to offer and discover.

That said, this is a strange one.
It definitely has more layers and components than the QC but strangely enough it feels less balanced.

I brought this one to a tasting last saturday where it coincidently had its turn after the QC.
All 7 contributers gave there thumb's up for the 10€ cheaper brother of this TW.

After this one is finished, the QC gets it's spot on my shelf back again.

Still a descent 88 points.

General description

On the nose I get notes from the bourbon and sherry barrels, in particular I get vanilla, raisin and apricot. The palate is a smoldering campfire with earthy flavor from the peat as well as fruity notes from the sherry casks. The finish is long and spicy with notes of cinnamon and smoke and a hint of vanilla at the very end. This is an excellent dram.

General description

Good strong peat flavor

General description

too much peat!

General description

Guter solider

Nose

Süße Rosinen und cremige Aprikosen in Verbindung mit einer angenehmen Rauchigkeit

Palate

Cremige auf der Zunge. Torfrauch verbindet sich mit Vanille und Frucht und Sherrysüße. Mit etwas Wasser geht es in Richtung Zitrus und Gewürze.

Finish

süßer Karamell Geschmack bleibt zurück

General description

TL/DR - nice smokey scotch with a fair amount of peat but enough sweetness to be very drinkable

Aroma - peat and wood

Taste - initial semi sweet sherry gives way to a mid flavor burn with a smokey finish reminiscent of a nice camp fire

Mouth feel - full bodied

General description

Great peated whisky. Not too extreme yet very powerful. Great price as well.

General description

This is my favorite of the Laphroaig line of scotches. It has the right amount of peat, smoke, and sweetness.

General description

Not that smokey for a laphroaig single malt whisky. Smooth with a hint of woodyness mixed with sherry. Very good in my opinion!

General description

The best peated whisky I have tasted so far. You can feel it has matured in ex-bourbon barrels. A notable progress from the basic 10 year old.

General description

Like getting a punch in the face from a boxer who's wearing velvet boxing gloves. My favorite Laphroaig thus far.

Nose

peat, hints of red fruit, peach. A whiff of iodine. A wet townsquare, where the fish market took place until two hours ago.

Palate

heavy peat in a sherried wrapping. Salt, ash, vanilla, smoke and red fruit. The characteristic Laphroaig band aid signature, but this time in a velvety package.

Finish

creamy Chocolate, bitter coffee and a fading mix of gentle spices and sweet peatsmoke.

General description

Smooth medicinal flavor with hints of vanilla oak all shrouded in smoke and peat. The finish is long and savory!

General description

피트감 충만한 첫향과 다르게 동그랗게 말아들어가는 부드러운 맛이 너무 기분좋음 맛있다
