The Laphroaig 30 Year Old - Ian Hunter Story Book 1: Unique Character is a single malt Scotch whisky from Laphroaig distillery. As the initial installment in 'The Ian Hunter Story,' a series of fifteen expressions, it reflects pivotal moments in the legacy of Ian Hunter, the final family member to operate the distillery.
This 700 ml whisky, at 46.7% ABV, recognizes Hunter's innovative choice to age Laphroaig whisky in American white oak bourbon barrels. The expression was distilled in 1987 and aged for thirty years in first-fill American white oak bourbon barrels, demonstrating the maturation process chosen by Hunter.

Each whisky is presented in a book-style box, detailing sections of Ian Hunter's narrative, making it an attractive option for collectors. Notably, the packaging also features the signature of John Campbell, Laphroaig's distillery manager.
In summary, the Laphroaig 30 Year Old - Ian Hunter Story Book 1: Unique Character is a testament to both the history of the Laphroaig distillery and Ian Hunter's influential tenure.
