LAPHROAIG Triple Wood 拉佛格 三桶 (1000ml 48%) Laphroaig奇妙三桶1公升超值款,免稅店通路販售,將原酒先儲存一般美國波本橡木桶中熟成,再將原酒移至較小的1/4桶中,藉由較小的木桶面積加強酒液與木桶接觸面,最後熟成結束在歐洲雪莉桶陳年,並保持較高的48%酒精度。 未經過冷凝過濾方式裝瓶,這個過程不只讓這款三桶保留了最濃醇的酒香,也傳承了拉弗格酒廠最傳統的特色。 行家報告~ 顏色:金色 氣味:糖蜜,奶油太妃糖,紅棗,核桃,香草,烘烤甜餅,奶油,煙燻,杏仁,百香果 口感:回甘和泥煤,異國香料,薑黃,濕霉原木,潮濕森林,大地,雪利酒,聖誕布丁餅,內斂冰鎮水果蛋糕,煙燻 尾韻:橡木清香,長,油潤圓滑酒體,香料和乾果為尾 |
LAPHROAIG Triple Wood Bottling Note~ A 1 litre bottle of Laphroaig's marvelous Triple Wood, this was bottled for the duty free market. Triple Wood starts off in a similar manner to Quarter Cask, in that it's matured in bourbon barrels, and then transferred to quarter-sized casks. It is then matured in Oloroso sherry butts. The results are delicious! Testing note~ Nose: Molasses and oily toffee. Dates, walnuts, notes from the Maker’s Mark barrels (vanilla, toastiness, sweetness etc). We got oodles of butter, zest, cool wood smoke, almond, and passion fruit. Palate: Dry and medicinal, with exotic spices, perhaps even some turmeric. The palate is surprisingly savoury at first, with what John described as “dry dampness” (taste and it’ll make sense!) - think musty wood sheds and hints of moist autumnal forest floor. The sherry notes are there too, but rather than being the big Christmas pudding flavour one often expects from Oloroso-aged whisky, we are instead treated to a much more restrained iced fruitcake, graced with hints of Laphroaig’s classic smoke. Finish: Oaked. The mustiness carries into the finish, which lasts for a good while, with oily spices and dried fruit. |
