Some whiskies whisper tradition. Cù Bòcan Creation 1 does something rarer, it reimagines it. This limited edition release from the Highlands is inspired by legend and driven by creativity. Named after a mythical spirit said to roam the misty Tomatin village, Cù Bòcan doesn’t follow the rules, it rewrites them in smoke and spice.

Cù Bòcan Creation 1 Single Malt Whisky 70cl – Limited Edition
Brand: Cù Bòcan (by Tomatin) | Category: Highland Single Malt | ABV: 46% | Origin: Highlands, Scotland | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Unexpected and enticing, think smoked apricot, tropical fruit, and warm citrus oils. It smells like a whisky born under strange skies.
Palate: Softly peated with bursts of pineapple, mango, and a twist of lime. There's a rich creamy mouthfeel, layered with subtle char, vanilla, and spice.
Finish: Long, warming, and gently smoky. The fruit fades, but the fire stays, elegant, never overpowering.

Production Details:
Cù Bòcan Creation 1 is matured in a mix of Black Isle Brewery Imperial Stout casks and Bacalhôa Moscatel de Setúbal wine barrels, a first of its kind. The stout brings roasted depth and malted richness; the Moscatel adds honeyed fruit, floral notes, and a vibrant finish. This is not your standard Highland malt, it’s a bold experiment that works beautifully.

Perfect For:
Fireside sipping with a curious mind. Pair it with good vinyl, bold stories, or during those moments when you want something truly different. Ideal for whisky lovers who think they’ve tried it all.

Expert Notes:
A limited-edition that wowed critics for its balance of sweet fruit and savory smoke. It’s a standout not just in the Cù Bòcan line but in the entire new wave of experimental single malts.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ “It’s like someone blended whisky with a gourmet dessert and smoke, in a good way.”
🗣️ “Didn’t know whisky could taste like this. Now I want more ‘creations.’”
🗣️ “The finish is unreal. Fruity, smoky, complex, it’s a total rollercoaster.”

Interesting Fact:
Cù Bòcan is only distilled one week a year at Tomatin, using lightly peated barley, making each release a rare expression from a traditionally unpeated distillery.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat is non-negotiable for the first pour. A few drops of water amplify the fruit and soften the peat. Pair with dark chocolate or aged cheese to unlock hidden layers.

Distillery Background:
Tomatin Distillery, perched high in the Scottish Highlands, is known for its gentle, fruity single malts but Cù Bòcan is its wild side. A spirit of myth and innovation, made in small batches with just a hint of peat and a whole lot of imagination. Each Creation release is a bold detour and Creation 1 is where the journey begins.
