33 YEAR OLD 2021 IAN HUNTER BOOK 3

INTRODUCING THE THIRD CHAPTER OF THE IAN HUNTER STORY

A COLLECTIBLE SERIES OF LAPHROAIG® AGED WHISKIES

Introducing the third release in our Ian Hunter series: a 33-year-old non-chill altered whisky with creamy liquorice notes, fully matured in ex-Bourbon barrels so that Laphroaig‘s characteristic peatiness shines through.

The third release of the Ian Hunter Series is to celebrate the legacy of the last of the Johnston family to own and manage the Laphroaig® distillery, and his fight to protect the Kilbride Stream. This is a story of uncompromising guardianship and a battle between neighbours, over every distillery’s essential lifeblood, its source of water.

FINISH

• A very long finish with lingering, alternating ashy vanilla and peaty aromas.

TASTE

• A sweet, syrupy, fruity mouthfeel to start, it climbs and coats the whole of your palate. It dips to a huge second wave of aniseed, followed by creamy liquorice notes.

TASTE PROFILE

Laphroaig® Vintage 1987,Ex-Bourbon Barrel Matured Single Malt

We’ve found that to get the most out of the whisky – to really see the
colour, breathe in the aroma, dive into the complex layers of avour, and
fully taste the long nish of this expression – the right glassware is essential.
A tulip-shaped snifter glass of uncut lead crystal is ideal. Fill the glass with
Laphroaig® 33-Year-Old Single Malt at room temperature. If you’re going
to dilute the liquid with water, we’d recommend soft Scottish water, but
really any good, cool but unchilled water will do.
