Laphroaig Ian Hunter Book 1 30 Year Old Unique Character (2020) 70cl

The first chapter in The Ian Hunter Story, Book 1: Unique Character represents Laphroaig traditions born out of Ian Hunter’s formidable character and unyielding influence.

This 30-year-old non-chill filtered whisky aptly aged in first-fill bourbon barrels is where Ian Hunter’s influence is most obvious, having been the catalyst for introduction of American white oak barrels into the maturation process of Laphroaig,

Over time, the original smokiness of this 30-year-old whisky has become less of an assault on the senses. Beautifully married with the sweet vanilla notes enhanced with ageing, the whisky develops into a more mature, well-rounded dram.

This is a liquid worth savouring – and a Laphroaig worthy of Ian Hunter himself.
