LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The most polished Laphroaig. While the 10-year-old is a punch in the face, Lore is a sophisticated conversation. It manages to retain the distillery's iconic medicinal character while adding a level of oily, sherry-driven luxury that is world-class.

The Library Note

The legacy of this spirit is rooted in the unique terroir and climate of Scotland. Through years of patient maturation in hand-selected barrels, it has developed a complexity that can only be achieved with time and dedication.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Rich and smoky. Aromas of damp peat and sea spray are balanced by a surprising sweetness of dark chocolate and vanilla.

THE PALATE

Powerfully coastal. Initial notes of medicinal smoke and ash give way to a velvety sweetness of raisins, chestnuts, and a hint of malted barley.

THE FINISH

Long and intensely spicy with a lingering, sweet peat-smoke tingle and a dry coastal salty notes.
