Laphroaig 33 Year Old The Ian Hunter Story Book 3 Edition
Pronunciation: { La-Froyg }
Vintage 1987 33-Year-Old Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Story Book 3 Edition is the third release from the limited edition Ian Hunter Story Edition, dedicated to the legacy that Ian Hunter built and left over 100 years ago.
The title Book 3: Source Protector pays tribute to the legacy of Ian Hunter, the last owner and manager of the Laphroaig distillery, which belonged to the Johnston family, and his fight to protect the Kilbride stream. This story is about the unyielding dispute between neighbors over a water source that is a key livelihood for every distillery.
This 33-Year-Old single malt Scotch whisky Laphroaig Islay matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks as a tribute to the legendary distillery manager and was bottled in 2021 in a limited edition of 4800 bottles without chill filtration at a cask strength of 49.9% ABV.
Ian Hunter, born in Scotland, was the last descendant of the founding Johnston family, managing the Laphroaig distillery from 1908 to 1944 and is still regarded as one of the most significant managers of Laphroaig, having made important changes in the production of the distinctive Islay malt, secured the expansion of the maltings, and doubled the number of stills from 2 to 4. From his travels in the USA, he brought back the first bourbon casks, in which whisky has since primarily matured.
Bottles are available in 0.7 l and are delivered in gift cartons that feature the visual of the book.
