Alot of people simply can't stand non age statement whiskies. I for one, am not going to fall into that trap, because there are some mighty fine NAS whiskies out there and this is one of them. Laphroaig Triple Wood has everything you could ever want in an Islay scotch. it's complex, rich, smoky, fruity, sweet and very smooth going down. The sherry influence really sticks out here majorly and it adds a terrific balance to the smoky, coastal notes you will find in an Islay dram. And on top of all of that, it's non-chill filtered and 48% abv, there's just so much to like here it's near impossible to fault. It is artificially colored but I personally don't see that as a setback. It is a pricey Whisky at $120 a bottle, this is a Scotch you will really want to savor big time and the bottle will benefit from breathing time too. I've had my bottle open for about a week now and it's opened up beautifully. If you do buy a bottle be sure to let it breathe before giving your final judgment. As for me, i'm tucking the rest of my bottle away until winter hits =P

This is smokey beyond belief, and not as smooth as I expected after trying another of the Laphroaig range brought in by a friend duty free. Definitely not a bottle I'll buy again

This is one of the best drams I've ever come across. I'm a massive fan of peated scotch and therefore a lover of the Laphroaig range. The Triple Wood is different though. It has a far more sophisticated and complex taste compared to the 10yr or the Select Cask. It's still got that unmistakable peat and smoothness but there's a variety of different flavours in every sip, that leaves you constantly wanting more. There's just so much contrast in the flavouring making it insatiable. I brought a bottle for around $88 (members Specials) at Dan Murphy's. For that price I think it's great value.

Talisker Port Ruighe is cheaper and just as good. Both are fortified wine influenced smoky delights. However, Suntory/Beam are off the mark with their pricing of the NAS Laphroaigs in Australia. There are many better whiskies available in this country for less than this.

Delicious, the classic peat and salt with a spicy sherry boost. A must have a for any Islay malt lover.

I have bought a lot of Laphroaig over the years and I am particularly fond of this one. However, at $120 a pop it is too expensive and you are better off sampling the less expensive Talisker Port Ruighe or Storm.
