- Description
- The fourth instalment of Laphroaig's Ian Hunter Story series, this 34-year-old was distilled in 1987 and matured in bourbon before finishing in first-fill oloroso sherry casks. The extended maturation and sherry finish would have softened Islay's characteristic peat and maritime intensity into complex, layered sweetness.
