‘Lore’ is a complex marriage of both classical Lahroaig styles and many ages of Laphroaig. The marriage draws from the peaty power of Laphroaig in the same vein as Quarter Cask but with the smoothness of double matured stock finished in European oak hogsheads. To add even further depth and complexity Laphroaig used it’s most heavily peated whisky matured in ex-Laphroaig barrels along with some fully sherry matured casks. The result is stunningly complex.
Laphroaig Lore is said to be the richest of the rich bottlings of Laphroaig – in the words of Distillery Manager John Campbell. Lore, meaning the passing of a skill or tradition through word of mouth, is the story of how Laphroaig is made, encapsulating the craft passed down from generation to generation over two centuries.
‘Lore’ is a marriage of classical Laphroaig styles and many ages of Laphroaig; some as old as vintage 1993. The marriage draws from the peaty power of Laphroaig with the smoothness of double matured stock finished in European oak hogsheads.
