A limited release of the iconic Islay single malt aged for 16 years in ex-bourbon barrels. Over time, the whisky’s smoky flavour softens on the senses and is beautifully married with sweet vanilla notes enhanced with ageing in American Oak.

When tasted, Triple Wood begins with a subtle sherry sweetness before offering up spiciness and nuttiness and a huge peat flavour.

With spirit selected by the master distiller from Quarter Cask, PX Cask and Triple Wood (Oloroso sherry) and a final addition of 10 Year Old, it represents a subtle blending of peat, oak and sweetness.

Matured in a duo of both bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks for a whole 25 years. Eventually it was bottled in 2019 at cask strength.

Using different aged liquids ranging from 7 to 21 years and by maturing the liquid in small batches in five unique casks, they have created a whisky that is rich and complex.

On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil. The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke.

Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.
