Laphroaig 33 Year Old, The Ian Hunter Story Book #3 is a remarkable addition to the esteemed Ian Hunter Series, celebrating the rich heritage of Laphroaig® and its last Johnston family steward. This exquisite whisky, aged for over three decades, is non-chill filtered and fully matured in ex-bourbon barrels, allowing its inherent peatiness to gleam brightly.

Presented in an elegantly designed book, this release encapsulates not just a premium whisky, but a chapter of history about Ian Hunter's steadfast dedication to protecting the Kilbride Stream, the lifeblood of Laphroaig®. Each volume in this series delves into the distillery’s storied past, making it a coveted collection for whisky enthusiasts and a tribute to an indomitable spirit.

The Laphroaig 33 Year Old offers a sensory journey that begins with its captivating aroma, richly herbal with a hint of fruitiness—think fresh green apples and delicate pear skins intertwined with the essence of campfire smoke. The palate presents a harmonious blend of fresh herbs like sage and tarragon, beautifully complemented by baked apples, smoked ham, and a dash of cloves. This symphony of flavors creates a surprisingly bright and vibrant experience, revealing layers of complexity.

To fully appreciate this distinguished single malt, it’s recommended to savor it in a lead crystal tulip-shaped snifter at room temperature. If desired, a splash of soft Scottish water enhances the flavors. The finish is impressively long and delicate, with a delicious mingling of salty fruits and a gentle fading of smoke, leaving a lasting impression. Ideal for the connoisseur and a true celebration of craftsmanship, this limited edition release promises to be a treasured addition to any whisky collection.
