Laphroaig Distillery continues to offer some of the most highly esteemed, exceptionally aged whisky iterations found on the market today, and this featured bottling of the Ian Hunter Story Book 1 Unique Character 30 year old Single Malt Scotch is another feather in their cap! Aged for a minimum of 30 years, this collectible release was distilled in 1987 and produced in just 4,800 bottles worldwide. Matured in first-fill American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished at 46.7% ABV, this single malt sensation honors the legacy of Laphroaig Master Distiller and facility manager Ian Hunter. The nose offers aromatic cues rife with orchard fruits, tannins, honey, and subtle bananas dipped in honey. One sip and the palate is swathed in notes of smoke, honey, pepper, and dewy peat. A superbly aged iteration from Laphroaig, this is one rare single malt Scotch that should be at the top of any collector's must-have whisky list!…

About the brand

Laphroaig is a highly-acclaimed brand of premium Islay single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Larphoraig Distillery, founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston. The brand has changed hands multiple times over the years beginning in the 1960s until it was purchased by Beam Suntory of Suntory Holdings in 2014. Laphroaig is recognized as producing some of the most deeply flavored Scotch whiskies on the market and is the only whisky to carry the Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales, awarded in 1994. The brand offers a range of products including several very rare and expensive expressions such as their discontinued 18 year old iteration (last offered in 2015). Notably, Laphroaig is unlike many other blended Scotch makers in that it malts its own barley. The barley is finished in special kilns with over 205 years of seasoning – leaving a truly defining note that Laphroaig fans have come to know and crave.
