Originally released to replace the 18, or was it the 15, who can recall, that was well before Covid... Bottled at 48% from an NAS marriarge of whisky matured in five different cask types.
From the Distillery: "‘Lore’ is a complex marriage of both classical Lahroaig styles and many ages of Laphroaig. The marriage draws from the peaty power of Laphroaig in the same vein as Quarter Cask but with the smoothness of double matured stock finished in European oak hogsheads. To add even further depth and complexity we used our mosy heavily peated whisky matured in ex-Laphroaig barrels along with some fully sherry matured casks. To ensure none of this amazing flavour was lost we bottled Lore at a full 48% ABV and simply barrier filled before bottling. The result is stunningly complex."

We could have left it at that, but sometimes the distillery has such a special place in our hearts that we need to take it a step or two further. Bowmore is Islay's oldest distillery. It was founded in 1779 along the shores of Loch Indaal, the body of water that nearly bisects the isle of Islay. The waves literally lick the walls of the warehouses, and whether or not you believe in the idea of whisky terroir, there is simply no debate when it comes to acknowledging that the barrels rolling out of these ancient dunnage warehouses truly are something special.
Bowmore 18 has had its ups and downs throughout the years, but in the past few releases we've been privy to, show the distillery back at the top of its game. Seemingly gone are the lavender-heavy days of distillation; we're back in full-on fruit mode. And the smoke? Bold enough to provide an unwavering backbone, yet gentle enough to expand the appeal well beyond the peat-addicted masses. Great to have Bowmore back where it should be.
