Laphroaig Lore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskey (750mL)

Laphroaig Lore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750mL) — 96 Proof | 7–21 Year Whiskies | Bourbon, European Oak, Oloroso & Quarter Casks

Discover one of the richest and most complex expressions in the Laphroaig range with Laphroaig Lore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a masterful marriage of whiskies aged from 7 to 21 years across an extraordinary variety of casks.

Lore was created to capture generations of Laphroaig whisky-making knowledge in a single bottle.

Rather than focusing on one age statement or one type of barrel, Laphroaig brings together mature single malts drawn from ex-bourbon barrels, European oak, Oloroso sherry casks, and traditional quarter casks.

Each component contributes something different.

Bourbon oak brings vanilla and sweetness. European and Oloroso oak contribute spice, dark fruit, chocolate, and depth. Smaller quarter casks intensify interaction with the wood and reinforce Laphroaig's famously bold peat character.

The resulting whisky is layered with peat smoke, sea spray, seaside minerals, ash, dark chocolate, spice, oak, and underlying sweetness.

Bottled at a robust 48% ABV (96 Proof), Laphroaig Lore offers considerably more weight and concentration than a standard 80-proof Scotch while remaining beautifully balanced.

🥃 What Does “Lore” Mean?

The name Lore represents the knowledge, traditions, techniques, and experience passed from one generation of Laphroaig whisky makers to the next.

Laphroaig has been producing whisky on Islay since 1815, developing an unmistakable house character centered around peat smoke, maritime salinity, medicinal notes, and earthy intensity.

Lore was created to bring many of those traditions together.

Rather than highlighting one specific age or maturation style, it combines whiskies of dramatically different ages and cask histories.

Some components are relatively youthful and powerful.

Others have spent as long as 21 years developing inside oak.

Together they create a whisky designed to represent the depth and complexity of Laphroaig's accumulated whisky-making heritage.
