Description

Laphroaig 34 Year Old The Ian Hunter Story Book 5 Enduring Spirit 2023 70cl, 45.5% is a rare Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Laphroaig Distillery, released as the fifth and final chapter in The Ian Hunter Story series. This prestigious bottling honours the lasting legacy of Ian Hunter, the final member of the Johnston family to own and manage Laphroaig.

Matured for 34 years, this expression was aged in first-fill ex-Bourbon American oak barrels and finished in Pedro Ximénez European oak hogsheads. The result is a deeply mature Laphroaig with rich fruit, sweetness and sherry depth layered over the distillery’s famous medicinal peat smoke.

Expect hedgerow berries, dried fruit, candyfloss, green malt, vanilla pod, butterscotch, peat smoke, sea salt, oak spice and gentle coastal depth. Bottled at 45.5% and presented in the original white book-style presentation box shown in the supplied product image, this is a serious collector’s bottle and a fitting conclusion to the Ian Hunter Story collection.
