Tomatin Cù Bòcan Creation #4
Tomatin Cù Bòcan is an experimental whiskey from the Highland distillery Tomatin, made from lightly smoky barley malt and distilled in limited batches each winter. Cù Bòcan means 'ghost dog' in Gaelic. According to legend, the inhabitants of the Tomatin area were haunted by a ghost dog, which dissolved into blue smoke and disappeared over the Highland moors. Each bottling of Cù Bòcan is matured in different cask combinations to bring out the exceptional flavors in the single malt. This creation matured in barrels that previously contained port and cognac, an allusion to the so-called Antrim cocktail: The drink, named after its inventor, is made from equal parts of port and cognac as well as a dash of orange bitters and syrup.
