Description
An official Cu Bocan single malt, bottled at 46%. Cù Bòcan is the smoky side of Tomatin, a peated malt named after a spectral hound of local legend. A very long fermentation, among the longest in Scotch, builds the fruity character.
Distilled from peated malt in copper stills on Allt na Frithe water, giving a soft wood smoke over the fruit. Maturation in sherry laid dried fruit over the peat. No age is given, but the soft smoke marks it as Cu Bocan. A patient maturation suits the smoky, fruity Cu Bocan character. Special releases like Decades and Warehouse 6 have marked the distillery's milestones. Cold, clean water runs down to the distillery from the hills above. Under Japanese stewardship the focus turned from sheer volume to quality. The very long fermentation is central to the distillery's fruity character. The distillery sits beside the A9, the old road north to Inverness.
At 46% it is supple and fruity. A soft wood smoke over apple and pear, with sherried dried fruit and a nutty edge come through and the virgin oak gives vanilla, baking spice and a little coconut. A soft peat and a ripe fruit give it depth. Soft peat and ripe fruit see out the finish. This is the peated side of Tomatin.
