For this release, Laphroaig combined selections from its Quarter Cask, PX Cask, Triple Wood, and Ten-Year-Old Casks - different maturation styles and oaks - together in one whisky. Master Distiller John Campbell produced this Scotch in honor of Ian Hunter, the last family member to own Laphroaig. Hunter had an affinity for whiskies aged in both bourbon and European oak, combining the new with the classic.
