Laphroaig has never been about subtlety, it’s bold, briny, and unmistakably Islay. But Lore takes things deeper. It’s the richest expression in the distillery’s core lineup, created from generations of whisky wisdom passed down by Laphroaig's master distillers. Each sip tells a story, of peat, sea spray, and time, woven together from a variety of casks chosen for their intensity. This isn’t just a whisky; it’s a legacy in liquid form.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like standing on a stormy Islay shore, waves of coastal salt, bonfire smoke, and seaweed, underscored by rich vanilla and spicy oak.
Palate: Viscous and bold, intensely peaty with charred oak, roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, and black pepper. The smoke is dense but beautifully balanced by rich sweetness.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming, with a peppery kick and fading notes of dried fruit and dark spice. It lingers like a memory you don’t want to let go.

Production Details:
Lore is matured in a complex combination of casks, including first-fill sherry butts, quarter casks, and refill barrels, each bringing depth and character. It’s crafted to embody “the richest of the rich” Laphroaig character, blending youthful intensity with the wisdom of older casks.

Perfect For:
Perfect for cold nights by the fire, or when you want to lose yourself in a dram that demands your full attention. It’s a contemplative pour, best enjoyed slowly, with time to savor each evolving layer.

Expert Notes:
Named “Best No Age Statement Scotch” by multiple critics, Lore has received accolades for its bold complexity and masterful balance of smoke and richness. It’s often described as the “essence of Laphroaig”, a must-have for lovers of peated whisky.

Customer Reviews:
"This is Laphroaig turned up to eleven, intense, layered, unforgettable."

Interesting Fact:
The name “Lore” refers to the oral tradition, the passing of stories and knowledge from one generation to the next. In this case, it’s the distillers' craft, distilled into a bottle.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy it neat if you want to feel the full peaty force, or add a drop of water to open up the sweeter, richer layers beneath the smoke. Best paired with dark chocolate, smoked meats, or complete silence.
