Laphroaig Lore : Intense, Peaty & Complex

Laphroaig Lore is a richly layered Islay whisky created to honor generations of masterful whisky-making at the Laphroaig distillery. Crafted from a selection of whiskies aged in a variety of cask types—including first-fill bourbon barrels, quarter casks, and Oloroso sherry butts—Lore is described as the richest expression Laphroaig has ever produced. With its bold peat character balanced by sherried depth and maritime nuance, Lore is a tribute to tradition and innovation alike.

On the nose, Laphroaig Lore opens with signature medicinal peat smoke, seaweed, and iodine, followed by notes of dark chocolate, toffee, roasted nuts, and hints of dried fruit. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, delivering a wave of smoky intensity, combined with rich flavors of salted caramel, black pepper, oak spice, and subtle sherry sweetness. The finish is long, warming, and dry, with persistent peat smoke and a touch of cocoa and spice that lingers gracefully.

Blended by former Distillery Manager John Campbell, Lore is non-chill filtered and bottled at 48% ABV to retain the whisky's natural character and texture. It draws from whiskies aged between 7 and 21 years old, combining youthful intensity with the maturity and complexity of older cask components.

Laphroaig Lore is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its layers of smoke and spice. It pairs exceptionally well with chargrilled meats, rich cheeses, or dark chocolate, and is an ideal dram for those seeking a bold, contemplative Islay experience.
