The Laphroaig 30 Year Old Ian Hunter Story Book 2 is an exquisite single malt whisky, matured for three decades in Spanish oak oloroso sherry casks. This whisky represents the second chapter in The Ian Hunter Story, a series of fifteen rare aged single malts that pay homage to Ian Hunter, the last member of the distillery's founding family to own and manage Laphroaig.
Ian Hunter took over the distillery in 1908, playing a pivotal role in establishing Laphroaig as a distinguished single malt. This exceptional series honors his legacy and the unique spirit he helped create.

Upon adding water, hints of pipe tobacco and orange peel emerge. On the palate, one experiences a symphony of smoke, manuka honey, and smoked stone fruits, leading to a long and drying finish.

It stands as a testament to Ian Hunter's enduring legacy and is a must-have for any collector or connoisseur.
