2008 vW 12y

Über

Bunnahabhain's 2008 vW is a distinctive Islay single malt matured in the uncommon Manzanilla sherry cask, bottled by van Wees. This 13-year-old expression showcases an intriguing interplay between Islay's characteristic salinity and peaty depth with the refined influence of Spanish sherry. The result is a whisky of notable complexity, though its relatively youthful character remains apparent on the palate. The nose reveals loads of dry sherry with earthy undertones, ocean mist, dark chocolate, and tobacco notes. On the palate, a creamy mouthfeel carries rich dry sherry alongside peppery spice and subtle smoky layers. The finish delivers bright citrus, oak influence, and lingering pepper with dried spice notes, creating a memorable conclusion that bridges sweet and savory elements.
