Product description
Tomatin is not traditionally a single malt with a smoky and peaty palette, but in 2010 the 4-year-old “Peated” edition debuted in Japan, and three years later the Cù Bòcan brand was launched.
That is, Tomatina distilled from barley with a phenol concentration of 15 ppm. The real surprise came in 2014 and the Cù Bòcan 1989 Vintage edition with the producer's note that it is a whisky from three bourbon barrels (no. 34470-34472) "rare and accidentally distilled on June 7, 1989". The whisky was bottled in cask strength (53.2% abv) and without cold filtration, and the edition consisted of 1,080 bottles.
Aroma : slightly smoky, fruity, pears, limes, pineapples, vanilla cream, honey, coconut milk and delicate notes of heather and oak.
Palate: sweet and smoky, apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, buttered toast, ginger, cloves and a hint of licorice subtly wrapped in peat smoke.
Finish: long with a gentle breath of earth, fresh fruit, vanilla, traces of peat and oak.
