Nose: Aromas of beeswax, orange marmalade, extra dark chocolate, and Jamaican gingerbread.
Palate: Pleasantly dry and earthy with a gentle smoky note, followed by balanced and sweet sherry notes.
Finish: Long-lasting and complex, with a spicy aftertaste of black tea and ginger root.
Distillery/Bottler: The Tomatin Distillery, founded in 1897, is located in the Scottish Highlands near Inverness. Once the largest distillery in Scotland, it has specialized in the production of high-quality single malts since the 1980s. The Cù Bòcan series, named after the Gaelic term for "ghost dog," represents experimental bottlings with a light peat content and innovative cask maturations.
