Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Story - Book 5: Enduring Spirit Single Malt Scotch Whisky 34 Year Old
In stock
Ian Hunter looms larger than any other figure in Laphroaig’s history. It was he who, in the early twentieth century, expanded and modernised the distillery at the ‘hollow by the bay’, creating in Warehouse No. 1 an emblem of whisky-making excellence. It was he who guaranteed the distillery’s access in perpetuity to the waters of the Kilbride Stream, Laphroaig’s lifeblood; he who introduced the American White Oak casks still so integral to Laphroaig whisky’s flavour.
This fifth and final edition pays hommage to Ian’s enduring spirit through a whisky double matured in a combination of first fill ex-bourbon American Oak barrels and Pedro Ximénez European Oak Hogheads.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, lacquered amber with mahogany hues and a coppery glow.
Nose
Lightly peaty, with iodine and burnt-wood notes. Floral green malt mingles with sweet candyfloss and vanilla fudge, while nimble fruit accents of blueberry and raspberry lend a bright, fruity lift on the nose.
Palate
Sweet and spicy, with the characteristic Laphroaig peaty reek and hints of cold barbecue ash kiln wall. Salted caramel and butterscotch, roast chestnuts, a hint of peach, dried flowers and white pepper.
Finish
Peaty and malty to the end, the finish unfolds with praline sweetness that lingers, cooling into a soft, lasting warmth.
