Laphroaig Vintage 1987 33 Years The Ian Hunter Story Book 3: Source Protector Limited Edition 2021 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength 49.9% Vol. - a majestic Islay Single Malt!
The vintage 1987 33 year old Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Story Book 3: Source Building Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the third edition from the limited Ian Hunter Story Edition, dedicated to the legacy that Ian Hunter built and left behind more than 100 years ago. The title Book 3: Source Protector pays tribute to the legacy of Ian Hunter, the last owner and manager of the Laphroaig distillery, who belonged to the Johnston family, and his fight to protect the Kilbride stream. This story is about an unyielding dispute between neighbours over the water supply, the crucial livelihood of any distillery. This 33-year-old Laphroaig Islay single malt Scotch whisky was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks as a tribute to the legendary distillery manager and bottled in 2021 in an edition of 4800 bottles without chill-filtration at cask strength 49.9% vol.
The Scottish-born Ian Hunter was the last descendant of the founding Johnston family, led the fortunes of the Laphroaig distillery from 1908 to 1944 and is still considered one of Laphroaig s most important distillery managers today, as he made important changes to the production of the distinctive Islay malt, ensuring an expansion of the malting floors and doubling the stills from 2 to 4. He brought back the first bourbon casks from his travels in the USA, in which the whisky has been primarily matured since then.
A great vintage 1987 33 year old Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky in a limited edition, presented in an elaborate box in book format is a special piece of whisky history from the famous Islay distillery Laphroaig and highlight for enthusiasts, the discerning whisky collector and investors of fine old Scotch whiskies!
