The Tomatin Distillery, has today announced the launch of
the latest limited-edition Creation bottling, from its Cù Bòcan range.
Cù Bòcan Creation #6 (46% ABV) is a lightly peated single
malt Scotch whisky, which is a marriage of whiskies matured in Pedro Ximénez Sherry
casks for nine years and Jamaican Rum casks for ten years.
Cù Bòcan Creation #6
Launched in 2013 and inspired by the lightly-peated spirit historically produced at Tomatin more than a century ago, Cù Bòcan uses unique cask maturations to create a collection of vibrant flavours.
The spirit for the series which pushes the boundaries of
Scotch whisky with experimentation, whilst still paying homage to its
protective heritage, is distilled every winter in limited batches, and made
with lightly peated Scottish barley.
The resulting whisky is said to be an intriguingly smoky
spirit boasting a surprisingly lively character. A tantalizing burst of the
Caribbean captivates the senses, carrying notes of toasted Jamaica ginger cake,
bonfire toffee and banana and walnut loaf, followed by rum-soaked pineapple and
raisins and all rounded off with a subtle hint of Daim crunchy almond caramel.
Commenting on the launch, Scott Adamson, Blender and Global
Brand Ambassador, said: at Tomatin Distillery, said: “Cù Bòcan is renowned for
exploring innovative maturations, creating whiskies full of flavour guaranteed
to bring intrigue and surprise. Continuing this tradition, Creation #6 is a
bold experiment where Europe and the Caribbean meet to create a whisky that is
rich, sweet, and lively. Infused with the signature subtle smoke and vibrant
rum and raisin, it promises an unforgettable sensory journey.”
Cù Bòcan Creation #6, is now available from specialist
retailers, for a RRP of £61.50.
