The Laphroaig 34 Year Old Malt Whisky - The Ian Hunter Story - Book 4

This Laphroaig 34 year old malt whisky series honors the life and times of the distillery's greatest whisky distiller, Ian Hunter. The last of the Johnstone family to own and manage the Laphroaig whisky distillery. Under his stewardship, Laphroaig bottled its single malt for the first time in 1923. He dispensed agents across the world, especially in America, where Laphroaig malt whisky gained a strong foothold and was even sold during prohibition on the grounds that it was medicine.

In 1932 Elizabeth 'Bessie' Leitch Williamson took over ownership of the Laophroaig whiksy distillery on the death of Ian Hunter. Book 4 is a 34 Year Old scotch malt whisky from 1987, which was matured in ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks. The Laphroaig 34 year old malt whisky bottle comes hidden inside a hardback book, which tells the fourth part of Ian Hunter’s history and the legacy he left behind in every drop of Laphroaig distilled since.
