Càirdeas 2025 Lore Cask Strength vs. Lore
With the release of Càirdeas 2025 Lore Cask Strength early this year, we invited you to discover the bold flavours and unique characteristics that distinguish it from the original, Friend-favourite, Lore.
Recently, our Distillery Manager, George Campbell, sat down on Islay to answer questions posed by our Friends of Laphroaig. He shared his unique insights into the exciting differences between these two whiskies.


BIGGER AND BOLDER
George gets straight to the point: “It’s much stronger, so you'll be used to your Lore being 48%. The cask strength version of Lore gives you the opportunity to try it in its raw form.” This cask strength whisky provides a unique experience for Friends of Laphroaig, allowing you to savour the spirit at its most authentic.
Càirdeas 2025 Lore Cask Strength also captivates with its complexity. George notes, “The sweetness comes through a lot stronger. The oak has got more of a leading role to play in the dram.” This flavour profile offers whisky lovers a chance to engage with the spirit on a deeper level, experiencing the richness that defines Laphroaig.
CREATE YOUR OWN LORE
But according to George, one of the most exciting aspects of Càirdeas 2025 is its versatility.
“You can water it down to whatever strength you want, so you can effectively create your own Lore,"
This flexibility empowers you to tailor your tasting experience, finding the ideal balance of oak and smoke that suits your palate. Whether you prefer the powerful cask strength kick or a more subtle expression, Càirdeas 2025 invites you to create your own unique journey.
Join us on this unforgettable journey of flavour and discovery. Don’t forget to watch George Campbell’s insightful video, where he shares more about Càirdeas 2025.
