Laphroaig Triple Wood

[whiskysite]

Gniffel... Maar ik weet hier nog niets van... Even voor mijn duidelijkheid... er is een Triple Wood Liter, er is een Triple Wood 0,7 ltr, en er zou ook een Triple Wood 0,7 ltr PX moeten komen?

Zoals ik het begrepen had komt er voorlopig alleen een Laphroaig Triple Wood PX , 1L.
Aangezien alle duty free flessen 1liter zijn (voor zover ik weet) EN deze PX de gewone TW vervangt als duty free exclusive.

Interessant! Ik ging ook even aan de Google en blijkbaar heet het geen Laphroaig Triple Wood PX, maar Laphroaig PX. [persberichtje]

Beam Global has launched Laphoaig Triple Wood to global markets and introduced Laphroaig PX as the expression’s global travel retail replacement.

Both expressions are triple matured single malt scotch whiskies, differentiated only by the choice of barrel for the third phase of maturation.

The expressions’ first stage of aging is in American oak barrels - sourced from parent company Beam Global’s bourbon brand Maker’s Mark - and is then matured for seven to nine months in 19th century-style quarter casks.

In the case of Triple Wood, the third phase of maturation sees the liquid finished for a year in Oloroso sherry oak casks from Jerez, while the new PX expression spends the period in Pedro Ximenez sherry barrels.

According to Laphroaig, the maturation process is “similar to Quarter Cask", launched in 2004, and is the “marriage of peat, oak and sherry notes”.

Both expressions contain whiskies of between 5-10 years old, are non-chill filtered and carry ABVs of 48%.

Kreeg gisteren een mail van Emma Boyle van Laphroaig :

" Triple wood was originally a 100cl bottle bottled specifically for duty free. This has now been changed to a 70cl bottle and is part of the Laphroaig range and no longer duty free. The Triple wood PX will now be available duty free but has not yet been bottled.

Best regards,

Emma "

Ah, dat verklaard waarom die aanbiedingen bij slijters nu 70cl is en ik de 100cl heb
