A multi-cask matured single malt, Laphroaig Lore is crafted from whiskies aged between seven and 21 years in a mix of ex-bourbon barrels, European oak, Oloroso sherry casks, and quarter casks. Bottled at 48% ABV, Lore is described by the distillery as “the richest of the rich,” blending deep peat, coastal intensity, and layers of complexity drawn from rare casks.
