48%, Non-chill Filtered with added colour Nose: Smoke, Ashy, Seaweed, Sea Salt Mist and dark Salty Chocolate. Palate: A tamed medicinal Laphroaig peat smoke that turns ashy with bitter chocolate. Finish: a short drying finish that with a long lingering salted dark chocolate sweetness. Dark Golden colour, Oily and thick mouth feel. Tried it side by side with the Laphroaig 10 Year Sherry Cask. Both where lovely smokey whiskies, similar but different. Lore is more refined and less in your face, it has less sweetness and more bitter salty chocolate while the Sherry Oak is more in your face, but is still a softer Laphroaig then what I’m used to on the bourbon side. Meaty maple bacon and sweet smoky chocolate are a common theme with these. I love both and if I had to choose one, the Sherry oak being more then 100$ less would be my choice, I can see this one being a battle of ones individual tastes and how much their bank account can handle.
