Cu Bocan 1989
A rare expression of Tomatin's Cu Bocan range of peated single malts. This was distilled in 1989 and apparently came about due to an unintentional production error. Now the distillery makes some very limited amounts of peated single malt for just a few weeks every year. Cu Bocan 1989 was drawn from just three ex-Bourbon barrels and the yield was 1080 bottles.

Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
Aromas (without water) | The initial smoke is light, like distant burning kindling and has a heathery character which quickly gives way for fresh fruits – pear accompanied by citric lime zest and sweet pineapple. After time in the glass it becomes much sweeter with honey, vanilla, coconut and custard. Herbaceous notes of basil and rocket. |
Palate (without water) | The smoke and the floral heather notes are more prominent on the palate. Sweet abundance of fresh fruits; orange and grapefruit followed by blackberry and blueberry. Some ginger and clove spice is also hidden in the background. Finish: Very smooth with a long lasting earthy, yet sweet smoke. |
