- Description
- Laphroaig's 34-year-old single malt, the final release in The Ian Hunter Story series honouring the last Johnston family proprietor, was matured in first-fill bourbon American oak and Pedro Ximénez hogheads before bottling at 45.5% ABV without chill-filtration. The extended aging mellows Islay's characteristic peat while developing sherry complexity.
