Lore, meaning the passing of a skill or tradition through word of mouth is the name given to this extremely tasty Islay whisky. Each sip of Laphroaig whisky offers an immersive experience of Islay's untamed and captivating soul. Critic tasting note: "This expression offers an uncompromising note of brine-laden peat and iodine, with charcoal and sweeter fruit notes also present. The use of heavily peated malt, along with traditional floor malting techniques, infuses the spirit with the unmistakable aroma of smoldering peat fires. I've only been through about 4 dozen single malts over 20 years but this is my favourite overall (so far).

Officially licensed in 1815, by owners Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig Distillery had almost certainly already been producing whisky for a number of years before the excise man came knocking.It’s what layers notes of Manuka honey and grilled bacon onto our renowned flavours of peat smoke and seaweed.

Following this, the grain is dried over the same smouldering embers before being laid out on our malt floor, overlooking the sea. Laphroaig is a Scotch Whisky distillery on the western Scottish island of Islay and one of the best-known of all the single malts. Hilarious to read the bad reviews complaining that it doesn’t taste as good as bourbons like JD or other piss water American rubbish.Our packaging is eco-conscious: 100% recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable internal fittings made from recycled materials. The palate is equally out there, with old-fashioned fabric Band-Aids, bladderwrack seaweed, black pepper, smoldering peat, vanilla, caramel, and sweet oak.
