The Laphroaig 34 Year Old The Ian Hunter Story Book 4, also known as "Malt Master," is a single malt Scotch whisky hailing from the esteemed Laphroaig distillery on the Scottish island of Islay. This 34-year-old masterpiece is a tribute to Ian Hunter, the legendary manager who played a crucial role in establishing the distillery's floor maltings. Matured initially in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, this whisky is then finished in first-fill European oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks. This meticulous aging process has given rise to a cask-strength whisky boasting a rich and complex flavor profile that is sure to delight connoisseurs and collectors alike. On the nose, one can detect an intricate bouquet of dried fruit, soft smoke, tobacco leaves, eucalyptus, heather honey, black pepper, and cinder toffee. The palate is equally captivating, with notes of barbecued pork, sweet honey, peach, orange blossom, iodine, earthy peat, and ashy wood smoke. The finish is long and enduring, leaving a lingering impression of smoky and peaty notes on the tongue. This whisky is the fourth release in the Ian Hunter Story series, celebrating the life and legacy of Ian Hunter and his invaluable contributions to Laphroaig. Presented in a beautifully crafted book, this edition documents a part of Ian's rich legacy, making it a rare and collectible aged whisky. Laphroaig is a distillery with a storied history dating back to 1815. With a production capacity of over 3 million liters per year, the distillery is renowned for its distinctive peaty and smoky flavor profile.
