| Review #175 |
This whisky
has been matured for the entire maturation in virgin oak. The name Cu Bocan arrives from
a mythical hellhound that are haunting the village of Tomatin. The smell is
very smooth and light fruity. After a couple of minutes in the glass some peaty
notes appear with some marzipan and vanilla.
The first
sip shows that the taste is peated, but it is definitely not Islay peat. More
like smoked ham and very subtle peat. I also get some burned oak and a lot of
sweetness. The finish is lighter in the peat and smoke and lots of sweetness
stays.
A lot of
things happens when you experiment with water, so don’t be afraid to try give
it a go. A fine whisky and a virgin oak edition that is actually virgin oak all
the way! I will give this 86/100 (21/22/22/21).
