Tomatin Cù Bòcan 2005

A rare Tomatin 2005 Cù Bòcan Limited Edition Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky. Named after the mythical Hell Hound Cù Bòcan that has stalked the village of Tomatin for centuries.

Tasting Notes:

Nose : Butterscotch, toffee apples and honey are met with a hint of vanilla that binds these big sweet flavours together. The faint smoke of heather burning lingers in the background throughout. In time chilli infused chocolate, lemon syrup and a very slight hint of smoked bacon emerge.

Palate : A burst of candy loss and Birch sap sweetness is complemented by a gentle touch of peat smoke which brings a rounded earthy note to the taste. Dark chocolate, winter spice and poached fruits leave a warming suggestion of Christmas pudding.

Finish : Round and full. The combination of sweet and smoke is left to evolve on the palate with soft fruits continuing to play a role.
