Pros

I highly recommend Lore. It's more of a narrated, essay-style walk through a historical tale with the host adding context and interpretation as he goes. The subject matter is quite dark (lots of mystery and tragedy), but if you like that...
It was so good, quite complex. IIRC there's six (?) casks in there, ages ranging from 9 to 21. They were selling them at £55ish and it was a no brainer, we picked up a bottle
My favorite is probably the Cairdeas (sp?) from a couple years ago.. the one with white port in the finish. Closely followed by Lore and 16..
I’ll second Lore and Unexplained, and add Dark Histories.
Lore and Unexplained are two of my favorites

Cons

I tried Lore, found their narrating to be too mundane for my preference.
Parent context: Lore Reply: Oh wait-- might not be "lighthearted" since "dark historical tales" is part of its description

I highly recommend Lore. It's more of a narrated, essay-style walk through a historical tale with the host adding context and interpretation as he goes. The subject matter is quite dark (lots of mystery and tragedy), but if you like that kind of thing, it could be a good one to check out!

Maybe Lore too as that also has a bit of Sherry influence.

Parent context: Lore Reply: It’s so good though. And I think that the educational part of it/perspective shift he provides gives it more of an “aha!” or “wow!” vibe.

LORE is amazing.
