Laphroaig The Ian Hunter Story Book 4 Malt Master

Color: Rich amber, reminiscent of a glowing sunset over the Islay coastline. Nose: The aroma opens with an intense peat smoke, immediately transporting you to Laphroaig's rugged shores. Subtle medicinal notes intertwine with a gentle sea breeze, revealing hints of iodine and seaweed. As the bouquet evolves, layers of oak and vanilla emerge, providing a delicate balance to the robust smokiness. Palate: A bold and complex entrance on the palate showcases the signature Laphroaig peat, enveloping the senses with a luscious interplay of campfire smoke and earthy undertones. The medicinal character persists, offering a distinctive nod to Islay's maritime influence. Rich oak tannins mingle with a touch of honeyed sweetness, creating a harmonious contrast to the powerful smokiness. Finish: The finish is long and lingering, leaving an enduring impression of smoky warmth on the palate. As the peat gradually fades, a subtle sweetness emerges, leaving a final trace of brine and a hint of dried fruit. The aftertaste is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Malt Master, offering a satisfying conclusion to this remarkable Islay whisky journey.

Located at the head of Loch Laphroaig on the south coast of Islay, Laphroaig Distillery is renowned for the rich, unmistakable taste of its whisky which is the favourite of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and even bears his Royal Warrant.
