Cù Bòcan Signature

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Cù Bòcan Whisky Tasting, 03 February 2022. Hosted by GSC and Cù Bòcan’s Global Brand Ambassador, Scott Adamson). Nose: Floral/heather, honey, lemon Pledge, vanilla, pear, cream, summer berries. Palate: Pears, citrus, orange, dry sherry, vanilla, salted caramel. Wisps of smoke. Finish: Medium finish. Light smoke, nutty, apple and pears, leather. There's a nice spicy edge on the finish with notes of cinnamon and white pepper). This is a NAS whisky, however the age of the spirit is at least 9 years old. All casks used are air dried Maturation uses ex-bourbon casks where the bourbon has sat for a 3 year period Finishing casks: 60% ex-bourbon, 25% Oloroso sherry, 15% virgin North American oak This is a very well balanced whisky. Lots of interesting layers, moving through fruit, vanilla, spices and smoke. Very moreish, a bit of a session dram. Came 4th out of the five drams (the new make spirit wasn’t included in the vote), with 6% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 81% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky.

Light peat, vanilla and oak on the nose. Spice and light caramel on the palate. Medium finish.
