Laphroaig Lore

Since 1815, each Laphroaig Distillery Manager has been the custodian of the craft to make the richest single malt in the world. Over the years, each has passed on their skills and traditions to the next generation to continue this legacy. To honour this passing of knowledge, our Distillery Manager John Campbell has created Laphroaig Lore, the richest ever Laphroaig.
Lore, meaning the passing of a skill or tradition through word of mouth, is the story of how we make Laphroaig, encapsulating the craft passed down from generation to generation over two centuries.

Rich and deep with distinctive smoke, peat and seaside minerality - this expression is unmistakably Laphroaig. This is a result of liquid being drawn from a selection of casks including first fill sherry butts, smaller quarter casks and our most precious stock capturing the timeless passion and very essence of the Laphroaig Distillery. This is our story.
This is Laphroaig Lore.

Tasting notes:
Colour - Sparkling Gold
Nose - Rich and smoky with seaside minerals with a hint of ash and bitter chocolate drops. Vanilla follows with oily unroasted chestnuts and a hint of fudge with a malty sweetness. A drop of water adds a creamy clotted cream note with fruit appearing in the form of unripe citrus in a flan glaze.
Palate - Richly peaty with a spicy chilli bite.
Finish - Short dry finish and a long sweet aftertaste.
