- Description
- This 8-year-old Islay single malt, distilled in 2008 and matured in a bourbon cask before independent bottling by The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., emerges from 400 bottles produced under mysterious provenance—the exact Islay distillery is unconfirmed. Bourbon cask maturation at this young age preserves direct peat character alongside vanilla sweetness and maritime minerality. The youthful spirit brings lively heat and freshness to the palate. A curious bottling for those fascinated by Islay's distillery flavour profiles or enjoying a puzzle in their glass.
