As is always the case with a Laphroaig, there is that typical TCP, medicinal taste up front, but this expression is richer than the typical 10y/o. The upfront taste is rich and spicy with a good hit of alcohol that quickly disperses into a sweet, dry and spicy finish. I’ve said before that Laphroaig is my ‘go to’ dram and I suspect a bottle of Lore may become a regular addition to my drinks cabinet. An excellent NAS dram!
