It is a beast of a fabulous Whisky in the Laphroaig core range. Lore has released the 18 years old. I really enjoyed the 18 years old but this one is a fine replacement when it comes to that.

Knowledge passed down from generation to generation has given Lore the name and the richness.

With whisky matured between 7 to 21 years in a combination of first fill sherry butts and quarter casks you get a spicy peated whisky with a salty mineral taste.

I know there are many opinions on the non age statement Lore vs. price and that it has released the 18 year old, but let it go, just enjoy Lore it is a very enjoyable whisky with a good Traditional Laphroaig taste, a nice deepth of taste.
Maybe not the richest of the rich Laphroaig’s I have tasted but it is nice and I favour it and will recommend it.

Behind the name Whisky Adventurer is Lars Modvig Hesselberg. In short, I enjoy immersing myself in all aspects of the whisky world. I enjoy the stories, the people, the scents, the development, the taste, the variety, the big ones, the small ones, the distilleries and much more. Telling and passing on knowledge and experiences through speech, writing and pictures is a big part of the whole experience for me.
