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!
The second release in Tomatin’s Cù Bòcan Creation series, which sees the lightly peated single malt aged in a variety of intriguing casks.
For Creation #2, the whisky was drawn from a mixture of Japanese Shochu casks and European virgin oak casks
Nose: Smoky barley right from the start, followed by whiffs of citrus and biscuits.
Palate: Another whack of lemon and lime on the palate, alongside toasted sesame seeds, almonds and leafy herbs.
Finish: Almost floral on the finish, the smoke dissipating quickly.

Jim Murray has scored this Cu Bocan Creation 2 Whisky 93.5/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible, ‘A delicate malt shewing both a sharpness and much softer Brazilian biscuit feel that gives a unique identity.’
