Cù Bòcan, which is renowned for exploring innovative maturations, is distilled every winter at Tomatin Distillery in limited batches, and made with lightly peated Scottish barley.
In late 2005, after Tomatin had achieved its annual production
quota, the Distillery Manager at the time brought in a load of lightly peated
barley allowing the distillery to produce its own peated spirit for the last
week of the year. This production coincided with incredibly low water
temperatures and resulted in a slightly oilier mouthfeel in the new make
spirit.
Recognising the quality of this spirit, the distillery
continued to produce Cù Bòcan in small batches every winter since 2005. The
newly released Cù Bòcan 15 Year Old features some of the first lightly peated
spirit to be laid down in casks.
Cù Bòcan 15 Year Old, which is the first in a series of
annual releases, is said to deliver notes including sun dried fruits, exotic
spices, flamed orange peel, cinder toffee, black cherry and cardamom.
Commenting on the launch, Graham Nicolson, Sales Director at
Tomatin Distillery, said: “We are delighted to introduce the 15 Year Old into
the Cù Bòcan range, this whisky takes us back to where it all began, when we
first started producing lightly peated spirit in the midst of winter back in
2005. This release is a celebration of how far we have come since then, and a
nod to all the exciting plans we have in store for Cù Bòcan, opening up the
world of lightly peated whisky”.
Cù Bòcan 15 Year Old - 2022 Edition, is now available from
specialist retailers, for a RRP of £95.00.
