The Ian Hunter Story Series

This series of rare and collectable aged whiskies celebrate the legacy of one man, the last of the Johnston family to own and manage the Laphroaig distillery, Ian Hunter. This is the story of a character as unique as the whisky. Laphroaig is born out of the ancient soil of Islay, the art of distillation and the iconic nature of the people of Islay (‘The Ileachs’). It is thanks to Ian Hunter’s management of the Laphroaig distillery from 1908 to 1944 that these characteristics were brought together to create the whisky that you hold in front of you today. Each release contains a rare and aged Laphroaig, set into a beautifully crafted book that will document a part of Ian’s rich legacy. Every year a new chapter will be told, uncovering the extensive history behind Laphroaig and the characters who created it, making this a collection unlike any other, and one that is treasured by Laphroaig fans across the world.
