Laphroaig Lore Islay Single Malt Whisky
Laphroaig Lore is presented as one of the distillery’s richest and most complex expressions, created from a tapestry of casks that span several styles and ages. Drawn from a combination of first‑fill sherry butts, quarter casks and older, more mature stock, it reflects the depth of knowledge passed down through generations of Laphroaig distillers. The result is a whisky that captures the essence of the distillery’s coastal home on Islay while offering a broader, more layered interpretation of its famously intense character. Lore is crafted to honour tradition, weaving together smoke, sweetness and savoury richness in a way that feels both familiar and elevated. The aroma opens with deep peat smoke, sea spray and charred driftwood, followed by notes of dark chocolate, treacle and warm spice from the sherry casks. On the palate it is full‑bodied and powerful, combining rich peat with flavours of black pepper, roasted coffee, dried fruit and a touch of salted caramel. Layers of oak and earthy minerality build as it develops, giving the whisky a sense of depth and structure. The finish is long, smoky and slightly sweet, leaving lingering impressions of spice, cocoa and maritime peat.
The English Whisky Co. Small Batch Smoked Sherry Hogshead
This single malt whisky from The English Whisky Co. was distilled in 2013 before maturing in sherry butts for 8 years. The cask choice has imparted a wonderfully delicate flavours to the whisky; with no peatiness to the whisky, the flavours shine though resulting in a wonderful taste reminiscent of sticky toffee pudding.
