Product details
Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch – “The Cask Lore” is born from the heart of the iconic Islay distillery, a legendary estate founded in 1815 and proudly owned by Suntory Global Spirits. This expression is crafted in tribute to Laphroaig’s heritage—the rich storytelling of generations of distillers and blenders. It draws from their rarest stocks, blending single malts aged between 7 and 21 years, mature in a variety of casks: ex‑bourbon barrels, European oak, Oloroso sherry butts, and spiritedly intense quarter‑casks. The result is “Lore”—a whisky that embodies the traditions, craftsmanship and Atlantic spirit of Islay itself, respectfully handed down from one generation to the next in every drop.
On the nose, it offers pungent peat smoke, coastal minerality, sea‑spray salinity and faint ash with layers of rich dark chocolate and creamy vanilla. The palate is bold and energetic: bitter chocolate, smoky peat, warming chili spice, black pepper and clove emerge alongside subtle dried fruits such as apricot or stewed berries, with vanilla‑oak sweetness woven in. The finish is relatively short and dry yet lingering, with a delicate sweet aftertaste of caramelized sugar, ash and driftwood smoke. For pairings, enjoy this dram alongside smoked salmon or peppered steak, where its briny maritime and spice‑forward qualities wonderfully complement savory flavors; it also offers a bold contrast to dark chocolate desserts.
