Notes from the producer:

Introducing the second release of Ian Hunter’s 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 oaks. The second release of Ian hunter Series is a tribute to the Icon that Ian Hunter built more than 100 years ago. Because no one thing is more important to the creation of Laphroaig than the place it comes from—Islay and the ‘hollow by the bay’ where Laphroaig first came into being. It might seem obvious to state, but our whisky could not be recreated in any other place than this.

Nose: Dried dates and figs, cigar box with toffee and dark chocolate, liquorice with medicinal notes, pink peppercorns and all spice. Adding water brings out pipe tobacco and orange peel.

Palate: Manuka honey; sweet, smoked stone fruit.

Finish: Long and mouth drying.
