Laphroaig Lore 70cl, 48%

Description

Laphroaig Lore 70cl, 48% is one of the richest and most complex expressions from Laphroaig Distillery, created to capture the traditions, skills and character passed down through generations of Islay whisky making. This release brings together the unmistakable Laphroaig style: medicinal peat smoke, seaside minerals, ash, spice, dark sweetness and coastal intensity.

Lore is made from a marriage of single malts aged from 7 to 21 years, matured across several cask types including ex-bourbon barrels, European oak, Oloroso sherry casks and quarter casks. Each cask style adds something different: bourbon sweetness, sherry depth, oak structure, spice and the intense smoky character that makes Laphroaig so recognisable.

At 48%, it offers excellent weight and flavour concentration, with more intensity than standard 40% bottlings while remaining balanced and drinkable. The original black presentation tube gives the bottle a premium look, making it suitable for gifting, drinking or adding to a serious Laphroaig collection.

Why Choose Laphroaig Lore 70cl, 48%

This release stands out because it is designed to show Laphroaig at its richest and most layered. The combination of different ages and cask types creates a whisky with depth, smoke, sweetness, spice and mature oak character.

For drinkers, it offers a powerful 48% Islay single malt with peat smoke, seaside minerals, dark chocolate, ash, chilli spice and lingering sweetness. For collectors, Lore is an important bottle in the modern Laphroaig range, especially with its original black presentation tube.

Ideal For.
