About Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Story ‘Book 3 Source Protector’ 33 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Laphroaig’s writing up the third chapter in their Ian Hunter Series, and before we begin with the details of this release, let us quickly recap the story so far. As one of the Laphroaig’s founding fathers, Ian Hunter managed the distillery from 1908 to 1944, and it was during that time that the three distinct characteristics — the art of distillation, the olden soil of Islay, and the distinct personality of “The Ilecachs” — fused together and created the gist of the spirit that you know today. The third part of his story is titled Source Protector, referencing the Kilbride Stream. The stream is the source of that vital liquid gold that fuels Laphroaig, so they decided to honor it with a 33-year-old non-chill filtered whisky that enjoyed a long maturing period in ex-Bourbon barrels. Bottled just under 50% ABV, the whisky carries that classic Laphroaig’s peaty disposition that’s backed up beautifully by a tropical, fruity hue.
