Make way Australia for the VERY LIMITED Cù Bòcan 12yo Caribbean Rum Cask – a whisky peated by name, but hardly by nature – from the Highland Tomatin Distillery. We’re stoked to introduce the very first batch of the Cù Bòcan Caribbean Rum Cask to the Aussie market.
Look, this is a peated whisky to be sure – I mean, it says so on the label right! Right? But I think it’s about as close to the line as a whisky can be and still look at itself in the mirror when it calls itself peated. There are certainly no burnt rubber notes, no hospital iodine and band aids, no tar, oil or bitumen in this. If you ‘don’t like peated whisky’ you can still love this one. It’s fruity, it’s crisp and clean on the palate, light and delicious whisky– not an oily, heavy, ‘feels like getting lung cancer’ peated whisky. Interestingly though – for some reason the peat effect seems to be magnified by a smokey-cokey (peated whisky and coke) if that’s your thing! But neat – this is a light, fruity and easy drinking whisky that I think is perfect now the warm weather has taken hold.
