Cù Bòcan, a single malt whisky, is meticulously distilled in small batches every winter at the Tomatin Distillery. Cù Bòcan is a mythical hellhound that has haunted the residents of the village of Tomatin for centuries. As a tribute to this legendary creature, the Tomatin distillery created this lightly peated whisky.
Cù Bòcan Creation 8 epitomises the use of rare and unusual casks that the experimental Creations series is renown for.
Matured in Ice Wine Casks and Verdejo Casks, these two cask types interweave to create a truly unique and intriguing whisky that celebrates the subtleties of both smoke and sweetness.
Explorers of Creation 8 can expect tasting notes of fruit salad, lime zest, earthy smoke and soft oak spice. This lightly-peated whisky is non-chill filtered and has a natural colour.
Available in 700ml bottles at 46% abv.
