Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Series #3 33 years with 0.7 liters and 49.9% vol.
The Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Series #3 33 Years is the 3rd bottling of the limited whiskey series that the Scottish Laphroaig Distillery from the island of Islay has dedicated to Ian Hunter. The proud 33-year-old single malt Scotch whiskey is the oldest whiskey to date in the series that Laphroaig started in 2019. It spent its entire maturation period in ex-bourbon casks and, like the two previous bottlings, is delivered in a book in which the history of Laphroaig is described in individual chapters. The rare Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Series #3 33 years is a highlight for whiskey lovers and collectors with the book and the interesting information. It was bottled at cask strength with 49.9% vol. without chill filtration and added coloring and is bottled in a 0.
What is the taste of Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Series #3 33 Year Old with 49.9% Vol.?
The exclusive 33-year-old whiskey rarity from Laphroaig, matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks, impresses with its multi-faceted character and balance. On the nose, the single malt Scotch whiskey from the island of Islay is smoky and herbal with notes of tobacco, eucalyptus, mint and hay and a hint of jasmine flowers. These are joined by notes of dried flowers, fall leaves, sweet vanilla, maple syrup, toffee, rock candy, honey and black pepper. On the palate, the Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Series #3 33 years old offers an aroma mix of sweet peat smoke and honey-glazed smoked ham paired with fresh-fruity notes of lemons and limes as well as earthy-floral notes, toffee and nuances of iodine and cedar. Its finish is long-lasting with tones of oak smoke, ash and floral notes.
What is special about the Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Series #3 33 Years?
Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Series #3 33 Year Old is part of the limited whiskey collection that pays homage to Laphroaig distillery Ian Hunter, who had a significant impact on the distillery and its whiskeys. Ian Hunter was the last member of the Johnston family who founded the distillery in 1815. He ran the distillery from 1908 to 1944. To ensure the consistent quality of the whiskeys, Ian Hunter initiated his employee Bessie Williams into the secrets of whiskey production and bequeathed the distillery to her after his death.
