Laphroaig Triple Wood
A Whiskey Review by The Whiskey Noob
I’ve got 3 times the wood drinking my first bottle of Laphoaig…
Tha sho’ is a lot of wood!
I decided to dive wood first in my next Isaly whisky that I bought ($85+).
I bought this one because I knew I was going to get a lot more peat in it versus the Bunnahabhain I got earlier and also because it said there was a “subtle sherry sweetness” mentioned on the bottle.
LIES!!!!
I tasted no sherry and only little sweetness, but only at the very very very very end.
For the most part, I couldn’t get passed the peatiness that reminded me of when you are lighting fireworks on the 4th of July (‘Murica!) and you end up inhaling all the smoke that burned off…
yeah…this shit tasted like that the whole way through…
So if you’re still a noob like I am and don’t want anything too peaty, stay away from this at first cuz there are less peaty/smoky ones out there and when I find them I’ll let ya know!!
Laphroaig Triple Wood
Nose: peat, soil, like a campfire that just went out, oak, orange zest
Palate: black licorice, dirt, oak, fireworks
Finish: Long, ash, burnt toasted almonds, vanilla and another whiff of that fireworks smoke
