Triple Wood is an extension of the Quarter Cask expression and is special for its triple maturation, which creates a unique blend of our signature peat-smoked liquid with softer notes of fruit and spices. First maturing in ex-bourbon barrels, second maturation in quarter casks and then a third maturation in European oak casks previously used for Oloroso sherry.

This final stage allows for a slow maturation – all leading to a soft, complex and fully rounded flavour. When tasted, Triple Wood begins with a subtle sherry sweetness before offering up spiciness and nuttiness and a huge peat flavour.

Nose: Sweet raisins and creamy apricots, nuttiness, bonfire ash and earthy peat.
Body: Powerful, yet with a creamy consistency.
Finish: Mouth-filling and extremely long, balanced by a sweet smooth caramel taste.
Palate: Creamy flavours of vanilla and fruit, with a suggestion of sherry sweetness
