Cu Bocan Creation 1 Whisky - 46% 70cl

Tomatin’s smoky series of single malts, Cù Bòcan, received a bit of a redesign in mid-2019, receiving new bottles and new expressions – like this one!

Cù Bòcan Creation #1 was aged in Black Isle Brewery Imperial Stout and Bacalhôa Moscatel De Setúbal Wine Casks .

This whisky provides an intriguing balance of big, chocolatey beer notes and rich, fruity wine, all backed up by lightly peated single malt.

Nose: Espresso beans, red apples, roasted barley and shortbread.

Palate: Buttered apples, walnut, cedar, dark chocolate bitterness and a hint of prune.

Finish: Summer berry tart with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Subtle whiffs of smoke.

Jim Murray has scored this Cu Bocan Creation 1 Whisky 84.5/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible.
