High in the Scottish Highlands, where winter cold slows every drop through the stills, Cù Bòcan's spirit is distilled each January.

This time, the lightly peated malt met something Tomatin had never tried before – icy Canadian dessert wine and crisp Spanish white wine, both in the same bottle.

Expert Description

Cù Bòcan Creation #8 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, dual-matured in Ice Wine casks and Verdejo casks and bottled at 46%.

The whisky is the eighth release in Cù Bòcan's Creations series, Tomatin's experimental sub-brand that finds a new, unusual cask type for its lightly peated malt every year.

Creation #8 is also the oldest release in the series to date. The spirit matured in Ice Wine casks is 18 years old, while the portion aged in Verdejo casks is 16 years old. The two parts are then married into the finished whisky.

The Ice Wine casks come from Pillitteri, a family-owned Canadian winery known for sweet, concentrated ice wine pressed from grapes frozen solid on the vine.

The Verdejo casks were sourced from Belondrade, a Spanish winery in the Rueda region. The casks were filled with Cù Bòcan spirit just weeks after the wine was emptied, a deliberate choice to capture the wine's character as vividly as possible.

The whisky is non-chill filtered and naturally coloured. Only 3,600 bottles have been produced, presented in a distinctive electric purple and neon green bottle whose twisted shape echoes both smoke and cask staves.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh and fruity with a whisper of smoke. Fruit salad, pear and peach mingle with candied citrus peel, pineapple and lime zest, while green grapes, herbs, soft oak, almond and an earthy peat note sit underneath.

Palate

Lively and sweet-fresh, with tropical fruit, lime, green grapes and citrus marmalade. Honey and soft oak add body, while a gentle smoke trails along in the background.

Finish

Medium in length, fresh and lightly smoky, with citrus zest, green fruit, pineapple and spiced oak fading into a clean, fairly dry close.
