Cù Bòcan Creation #6

Tomatin Distillery was established back in 1897, with limited batches of intriguing lightly peated spirit released under their Cù Bòcan (say ‘coo bawc-can’) brand since 2013. It’s named after a local legend about a ghostly dog that wanders the Scottish Highlands, but disappears into a cloud of smoke when it’s touched.

You may remember that last year we enjoyed Cù Bòcan’s first rum cask release. Creation #6 uses rum casks too (although from Jamaica this time), but also features whisky matured in rich Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Three words folks: rum and raisin! And some subtle smoke, of course. Sounding pretty good, huh? It’s bottled at natural colour without chill-filtration.
