Their intent was to raise and sell cattle on the land and as a result, they began growing barley to be used as feed for their livestock. Following a particularly bountiful harvest, the brothers distilled the excess grains they had grown into whisky, and sold it to the inhabitants of the island. Soon thereafter, the brothers found it more profitable to distill whisky than to raise cattle, and Laphroaig (pronounced La-froyg) Distillery was born. For over a century, the distillery would remain in the hands of one of Johnston's descendants. In 1954, however, Ian Hunter passed away childless and bequeathed the distillery to Bessie Williamson, a secretary that had been working at the distillery for two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 97.2 (48.6% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHints of sweet fruits, cherries and sherry in the aroma.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99.8 (49.9% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chapter opens up with pears, peaches, and apricots on the nose, mixing it up with notes of honey, rose petals, nutmeg, and ashy-dry peat.

Later on, different protective custodians were appointed to take care of the distillery. Despite their varied approaches, they all shared an intense respect for the Whisky making tradition and its elements, ranging from the Kilbride Stream, the floor malted barley, the cold-smoking kilns, the hand-cut peat, and the sophistication of oak aging. Laphroaig's esteemed expression, the 34 Years Old 2022 Ian Hunter Book 4, pays homage to none other than Ian Hunter—a man who marked the course of Laphroaig's history by introducing this yummy Scotch to America during Prohibition and was one of the first ones to use American White Oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92.4 (46.2% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings honey, peat, and black pepper aromas, followed by a fruity palate of peach and orange blossom flavors alongside signature notes of Laphroaig peat.

During Prohibition, it was one of the few whiskies still legally imported into the United States, as it was considered a medicinal spirit. Laphroaig Single Malt is made from the finest Scottish barley, which is then malted at the distillery and smoked over a peat flame. Unlike other distilleries which source peat from the Scottish mainland, the peat used to smoke Laphroaig barley is made of from the heather, mosses and lichens of Islay and adds a distinct iodine-like flavor to the whisky. After the barley has been malted and peated, it is fermented before being twice-distilled through Laphroaig's copper-pot stills. The unique stills have an usually flat base and flat surfaces, which lends to the overall intensity of the whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAroma of peat, citrus, oak, salt and iodine.
