Laphroaig Triplewood 750ML

The initial flavor is sweet with a gentle mixture of sweet raisins and creamy apricots and a trace of the dry peat smoke at the back. With a touch of water, the peat smoke comes to the fore and masks the gentler fruitier notes. Even with the maturation being carried out in 1st fill bourbons, quarter casks and sherry butts, the intense bonfire ash smell of the earthy peat cannot be masked. With no water, a large initial burst of peat is followed by creamier flavors of vanilla and fruit with a suggestion of sherry sweetness. The finish is extremely long but balanced by a sweet smooth caramel taste.
