Laphroaig Lore Islay Single Malt (48% abv)

Laphroaig Lore is a rich and intense single malt Scotch whisky, crafted to embody the deep tradition and expertise of the iconic Laphroaig distillery. Known as “the richest of the rich,” Lore is a blend of meticulously selected aged malts matured in a variety of cask types, including first-fill sherry butts, American oak barrels, and smaller quarter casks. This complex aging process gives Lore its layered profile, which brims with deep smoke, coastal minerality, and an underlying sweetness.

On the nose, you’re met with the classic Laphroaig medicinal peat smoke, complemented by hints of dark chocolate, sea salt, and sweet vanilla. The palate is bold and velvety, delivering waves of smoked chili, oak spices, and a lingering creaminess, with traces of ash and a gentle nuttiness emerging in the finish. Each sip reflects the generations of craftsmanship and the distinctive Islay terroir, making Lore a powerful, multifaceted whisky that captures the soul of Laphroaig’s storied legacy.
