Whisky Review: Laphroaig Lore Single Malt Scotch

Introduction Today, we’re diving into a Laphroaig Lore review, a premium expression from the renowned Islay distillery. For those who have been following along, back in Season 1, we explored Laphroaig 10 Year, our very first peated Scotch. At the time, Bob wasn’t the biggest fan of peat, though Brad had started warming up to it (or perhaps, drinking his way into appreciation). Since then, our palettes have evolved, and thanks to our friend Austin Dupree of Bourbon Earring, we now have the chance to try Laphroaig Lore. Laphroaig Lore was introduced in 2016 and is crafted from a blend of whiskies aged between 7 and 21 years in five different cask types, including sherry casks and smaller quarter casks. Clocking in at 96 proof (48% ABV), it’s a bold Scotch compared to the typical 80-90 proof range. Let’s dive into how it measures up!
