Laphroaig 30 Year Old The Ian Hunter Story Book 1 Unique Character 2019 70cl, 46.7%

Description

Laphroaig 30 Year Old The Ian Hunter Story Book 1 Unique Character 2019 70cl, 46.7% is a rare Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Laphroaig Distillery, released as the first chapter in The Ian Hunter Story series. This prestigious bottling honours Ian Hunter’s influence on the distillery and his role in shaping the distinctive Laphroaig character known today.

Matured for 30 years in first-fill American white oak Bourbon barrels, this expression reflects Ian Hunter’s important connection to the introduction of American oak into Laphroaig’s maturation style. The long ageing has softened the distillery’s famous medicinal peat smoke, allowing sweeter notes of manuka honey, cooked apple, vanilla, herbs, citrus peel and gentle oak to come forward.

Bottled at 46.7% and presented non-chill filtered, this release offers a refined balance of maturity, coastal smoke and sweet Bourbon cask depth. Complete with its original white book-style presentation box shown in the supplied product image, this is a serious collector’s bottle for Laphroaig enthusiasts and lovers of older Islay whisky.
