Laphroaig 33 Year Old 2021 The Ian Hunter Story Book 3 70cl, 49.9%
INTRODUCING THE THIRD CHAPTER OF THE IAN HUNTER STORY
A COLLECTIBLE SERIES OF LAPHROAIG® AGED WHISKIES
Introducing the third release in our Ian Hunter series: a 33-year-old non-chill altered whisky with creamy liquorice notes, fully matured in ex-Bourbon barrels so that Laphroaig‘s characteristic peatiness shines through.
The third release of the Ian Hunter Series is to celebrate the legacy of the last of the Johnston family to own and manage the Laphroaig® distillery, and his fight to protect the Kilbride Stream. This is a story of uncompromising guardianship and a battle between neighbours, over every distillery’s essential lifeblood, its source of water.
The third release of the Ian Hunter Story is a 33 Year Old single malt that has been matured exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks, allowing the iconic Laphroaig peatiness to shine through. Aromas of pears, peaches, honey, rose petals, nutmeg and ashy peat smoke fill the nose, complemented by notes of stewed apples, aniseed, creamy liquorice and acrid peat throughout the palate.
A limited edition Laphroaig 30 year old part of the Ian Hunter Story, this is Book 3 – Source Protector.
