Description

• Laphroaig is about as classic Islay as you can get. Heavily peated, light bodied, a powerhouse of maritime flavors, and smoke, smoke, smoke. It really sticks with you, but in a good way. Lore is a complex marriage of both classical Laphroaig styles and many ages of Laphroaig. The marriage draws from the peaty power of Laphroaig in the same vein as Quarter Cask but with the smoothness of double matured stock finished in European oak hogsheads. To add even further depth and complexity they used their most heavily peated whisky matured in ex-Laphroaig barrels along with some fully sherry matured casks. To ensure none of this amazing flavor was lost this whisky was bottled at a full 48% ABV and simply barrier filtered before bottling. The result is stunningly complex.
