The Laphroaig 33yo The Ian Hunter Story Book 3 is a remarkable single malt whisky, matured exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks for 33 years. This is the third release in a series of 15, known as The Ian Hunter Story, which pays homage to Ian Hunter, the last member of Laphroaig's founding family to own and manage the distillery. Hunter, who took over the distillery in 1908, was pivotal in launching Laphroaig as a single malt. 'Source Protector', this particular release, underlines Hunter's commitment to safeguarding the distillery's water source and peat fields. Bottled in 2021, this whisky boasts an ABV of 49.9% and is available in a limited edition of 4800 bottles. The Laphroaig 33yo features an exquisite aromatic profile with notes of pears, peaches, apricots, honey, nutmeg, and a hint of peat. On the palate, it is sweet and syrupy with layers of aniseed and creamy liquorice. The finish is notably long, lingering with ashy vanilla and peaty flavors. This exceptional whisky is part of a collection that showcases rare and aged Laphroaig expressions, each set in a beautifully crafted book that chronicles different chapters of Ian Hunter's rich legacy. With each release, a new chapter unfolds, revealing the extensive history behind Laphroaig and the influential figures who helped shape it.
