The most peated Laphroaig. But not in a "prove a point" kind of way.
Laphroaig distillery was founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston and is located in Port Ellen on Islay. For a long while there’s been frenzy for Laphroaig’s Scotch. Rumor has it that Prince Charles of Wales himself is a big fan of the brand. But no matter what, Laphroaig is the Islay Single Malt by which all others are judged. They are the standard-bearers for the hearty, smoky style that Islay is famous for. Their core line up has no fewer than a dozen Single Malt drams plus a host of special releases and travel retail specialty editions.
The folks at Laphroaig call Lore “The Richest of the Rich.” And it's easy to see why. This is a classic Islay-styled Single Malt Whisky to be sure, but they go a little beyond the normal. The name Lore comes from the very old-school production methods.
The peat is hand cut. The malt is hand turned and cold-smoked. All if this harkens back to how they did it decades ago. The results are impressive. If you like your Whisky smoky, you will find Laphroaig Lore to be their most heavily peated dram. It won Double Gold medal at San Francisco World Spirit Competition 2017.

Ratings & Reviews
Bryan,
Peaty, smoky, with lesser hints of brine. Followed with sweet, oily, tannic finish that lingers in the mouth for a good bit of time. Well balanced, and full bodied. Something different every time you pour a glass. Love it!
Kathleen,
Too earthy for my tastes
Scott,
Loved it perfect amount of peat and super smooth!
Todd,
Aroma is inviting, with some sweetness but also smoke that would be expected from Laphroaig. I'm sure if I had tasted this when I was first getting into Scotch Whiskies I probably wouldn't have liked it - lots going on here. You get a bit of spice and sweetness initially before the smoke, ash, tar and other flavors come in, and then you get some bitterness. Overall quite interesting and enjoyable. I see this as a one drink and done type Scotch - I wouldn't want several pours of this in an evening. Good, not great.
Mark,
I was hooked on Laphroaig from the first taste many years ago. Flavor is important and LORE does not disappoint.
