The new Laphroaig Ian Hunter: Book One is set to be an annual series of super-premium whiskies honoring the legacy of Ian Hunter, said to be the last of the founding Johnston family.

I’ve been familiar with Laphroaig for while here. There’s been the super smoky to the various barrel finishes. This one I’m reviewing is a 30 year and is a second release as such. The Ian Hunter Book number two is also aged in Oloroso barrels. I hate to sound repetitive, but alas, that’s what it is.
