NEW RELEASE – Laphroaig 30 Year Old – The Ian Hunter Story at Hard To Find Whisky – Scotch Whisky News

Introducing the second release of the Ian Hunter Story series: a non-chill filtered Whisky with sweet Sherry notes underscored by Laphroaig‘s characteristic peatiness, aged for 30 years in Spanish Oak Oloroso Sherry casks.

Set into a beautifully crafted book that will document a part of Ian’s rich legacy. Every year a new chapter will be told, uncovering the extensive history behind Laphroaig and the characters who created it, making this a collection unlike any other, and one that is treasured by Laphroaig fans across the world.

The second book of the five-part story starts with Warehouse No.1. With the different cask types being brought by Ian Hunter, including ex-bourbon barrels and Sherry cask, Ian recognised the need for more capacity to house them. Ian selected the location by the Atlantic shore that would have its influence on the casks and planned a five-phased extension between 1910 and 1924.
