Tomatin's smoky series of single malts, Cù Bòcan, received a bit of a redesign in mid-2019, receiving new bottles and new expressions - like this one! Cù Bòcan Signature is a lightly peated expression that has been drawn from a trio of casks; bourbon casks, Oloroso sherry casks and North American virgin oak casks. No chill-filtration or additional colours for this one, just fruit-forward, softly smoky whisky.
Why not give this a go in a deliciously smoky take on a Manhattan cocktail? Try out the recipe below!
50ml Cù Bòcan Signature
25ml Sweet vermouth
A dash of Angostura Bitters
Stir the whisky and vermouth together in an ice-filled mixing glass, and add a dash of bitters. Strain using a Hawthorne strainer, into a Nick and Nora glass. For added smoky deliciousness, use a cocktail smoker to infuse some smoke!
Dry and fragrant, with woodsmoke, dried lemon peel and a little vanilla, then orchard fruit and heather honey, with a touch of liquorice.
BBQ char, cooking spices and Conference pear initially, followed by orange peel and hints of leather and espresso.
Muscat grapes, light smoke and a little nuttiness.

Although I’ve had Tomatin before and loved it, I was not prepared for this... An explosion of scents and flavours. I’m getting liquorice on the palate as well as the nose, but this amongst so many wonders that develop as it lingers. A whisky that keeps on giving!
For its price this has to be one of the very best Highland Whisky's I have consumed. It has that knack of just hitting the right note, particularly in the evening around 9pm. Try it during a quiet moment to really appreciate it. I always have a spare bottle in my cabinet. Enjoy.
Always been a fan of Cu Bocan and the new bottle look fantastic.. very nice range of whiskies by Tomatin...
Fantastic! All three of the Cu Bocan malts are now our favourite whiskys since tasting them in Edinburgh 2019 when we visited the Military Tattoo
Superb peated whisky which does not over power your taste buds. Very gentle and plenty of sweetness. Hint of smoke appears much later which is beautiful. this is surely my new favourite.
