In stock
The fourth instalment of the Ian Hunter Story series has been matured in American white oak barrels and finished in first-fill European Oak Oloroso Sherry casks.
This rare and collectable series honours the legacy of one man, Ian Hunter, the last of the Johnston family to own and manage the Laphroaig distillery, between 1908 and 1944.
A rich, full bodied whisky with aromas and flavours of dried fruits, black pepper, and barbecued meats, all wrapped up in Laphroaig’s signature smokiness.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge.
Nose
Aromas unfold with sun-dried fruits and cracked black pepper, rising over bold peat and smoked barley notes. Subtle barbecued meats mingle with a Sherry-tinged oak sweetness, all wrapped in Laphroaig’s signature smoky core.
Palate
Luxurious and full-bodied, the palate reveals dried fruit sweetness interlaced with cracked black pepper and barbecued-meat notes, all wrapped in Laphroaig’s signature peat smoke. The first-fill Oloroso finish intensifies sherry-rich depth, weaving fruit and spice into a long, warming finale of smoky, saline peat.
Finish
An enduring, voyage-like finish: luscious smoke woven with sherry-pruned sweetness, notes of dried fig and raisin, black pepper and a hint of barbecued meat. The peat clings, warming the palate as cocoa and leather nuances emerge, leaving a long, embered finish with a whisper of sea salt.
