The 2019 release of Laphroaig's Ian Hunter series (a fifteen part series of rare aged single malt whiskies from Laphroaig) is a creamy, smooth 30-year-old single malt. Matured exclusively in American white oak barrels, this Islay whisky celebrates the legacy of Ian Hunter, the last member of the Johnston family to own and manage Laphroaig distillery. Presented in a elegant book-style presentation case featuring the first chapter in Hunter's life story.
Nose: Sweet and medicinal with manuka honey, light peat smoke, cooked apple and rosemary vanilla. Orgeat syrup and a hint of lemon peel complete the aroma.
Body: Full bodied.
Palate: Peaty and peppery with notes of herbs, cedar, kumquat zest and gorse flower. A sweetness of custard cream and vanilla pods.
Finish: Coastal with subtle iodine, sea salt and seaweed notes. A touch of coffee and oaky character.
