Cù Bòcan Creation #6

Cu Bocan Creation #6 - The award-winning Highland whisky Cù Bòcan, known for its experimental nature and distilled at the Tomatin distillery during the winter months, has recently introduced a new limited-edition single malt called Creation #6.

Launched in 2013 and inspired by the lightly-peated spirit historically produced at Tomatin over a century ago, Cù Bòcan is crafted using unique cask maturations to produce a collection of vibrant flavours.

Creation #6 (46% ABV, non-chill filtered) is made with lightly peated Scottish barley and is a fusion of liquid matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for nine years and characterful Jamaican Rum casks for 10 years.

The result is an intriguingly smoky spirit boasting a surprisingly lively character. It offers a tantalizing burst of Caribbean flavours that captivate the senses, with notes reminiscent of toasted Jamaica ginger cake, bonfire toffee, and banana walnut loaf. This is followed by hints of rum-soaked pineapple and raisins, all rounded off with a subtle touch of crunchy almond caramel.

This latest release of Cù Bòcan is presented in the brand's impressive bespoke bottle. The design features ascending contours engraved into the glass, mimicking the signature wisp of smoke characteristic of the whisky. Horizontal lines on the bottle pay homage to the staves of casks that play a central role in the whisky's production.
