Imagine smoke weaving through a Highland glen at dawn, soft, fleeting, and unexpected. Cù Bòcan Signature is a whisky that whispers rather than shouts, offering a lightly peated single malt matured in a trio of casks: Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry, and North American Virgin Oak. It’s modern Highland whisky, reimagined through gentle contrasts and texture.

Cù Bòcan Signature – Lightly Peated (Triple Cask) Single Malt Whisky 70cl
Brand: Cù Bòcan (Tomatin Distillery) | Category: Lightly Peated Highland Single Malt | ABV: 46% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Like opening a spice drawer beside a fruit bowl, clove, nutmeg, and toasted almonds mingle with orange zest and ripe banana. A faint wisp of smoke lingers in the background, subtle as mist.
Palate: Creamy and light-bodied, it brings soft smoke, cinnamon, caramelized pears, and toasted oak. Balanced and elegant, with no one flavor trying to dominate.
Finish: Long, smooth, and warming. The smoke gently reappears alongside hints of vanilla, dried fruit, and sweet oak.

Production Details
Distilled only in winter months, Cù Bòcan uses lightly peated malt to create a spirit that balances tradition and experimentation. Signature is matured in three different cask types, each contributing something vital: Bourbon for vanilla and sweetness, Oloroso Sherry for fruit and depth, and Virgin Oak for structure and spice. Non-chill filtered and natural color.

Interesting Fact
Despite being from the Highland region, Cù Bòcan leans into a peated style typically associated with Islay but in a much more restrained, elegant way. The name itself comes from a local legend about a ghostly black beast roaming the village of Tomatin.

Serving Suggestions
Sip neat to enjoy its natural softness, or try with a few drops of water to bring out the sweeter notes. It also works beautifully in a smoky Old Fashioned.
