Laphroaig 30yo The Ian Hunter Story Book 1 46.7% 700ml information

The Laphroaig 30yo The Ian Hunter Story Book 1 is a 2019 release of a 30-year-old single malt whisky from the renowned Islay distillery, Laphroaig. This whisky is the first in a fifteen-part series, The Ian Hunter Story, which honors the legacy of Ian Hunter, the last member of the Johnston family to own and manage the Laphroaig distillery. Matured exclusively in first-fill American white oak bourbon barrels, this whisky offers a creamy, smooth experience with Laphroaig's characteristic peatiness. The nose is filled with sweet aromas of manuka honey, light peat smoke, cooked apple, rosemary, vanilla, lemon peel, and orgeat. The palate develops notes of black pepper, garden herbs, cedar wood, kumquat, rich peat smoke, gorse flowers, and a sweet finish of custard creams and vanilla pods. Bottled at a strength of 46.7% ABV, this cask strength bottling is free from chill filtration, with just 4,800 bottles produced. The whisky is presented in an elegant book-style case, featuring the first chapter in Hunter's life story. This release celebrates the man who introduced the iconic American white oak barrels to whisky making at Laphroaig and made Laphroaig what it is today. The Ian Hunter Story series commemorates Hunter's influence and celebrates the unique spirit that he helped create. Each release in the series will contain a rare and aged Laphroaig, set into a beautifully crafted book that will document a part of Ian's rich legacy. This collection is treasured by Laphroaig fans across the world, with a new chapter unveiled every year, revealing the extensive history behind Laphroaig and the characters who created it.

  • Overall: A stunning nose with sweet tropical fruits and minimal peat smoke. The taste is complex, although lacking the characteristic phenolic side of Laphroaig.

Reviewer's Opinion

While the Laphroaig 30yo The Ian Hunter Story offers an exceptional nose with layers of tropical fruits and subtle peat smoke, the palate may disappoint those expecting the traditional bold phenolic notes of Laphroaig. It’s a complex and enjoyable whisky, but perhaps not worth the high price tag for some. Collectors will appreciate its rarity and historical significance, but for the everyday sipping connoisseur, there may be better value options among Islay malts.
