Balvenie 'The Sweet Toast of American Oak' 12 Year Old
The story being spectacular things that can happen when ancient techniques meet fresh new innovative ideas. "Some would call us 'aff our heads', but I suppose you've got to try something really different now and again," explained Mashman Brian Webster. On the nose this bottling gives lusciously malty notes with some sweet fudge, followed by citrus and oak vanilla aromas with layers of spicy oak notes of ginger and cinnamon. On the palate it is candied orange and lemon peel, vanilla toffee and butterscotch, layers and layers of blossom honey with some melted brown sugar and oak spices at the end. The finish is rich and full of malty notes with gentle waves of oak vanilla and subtle spice.
Tomatin Cu Bocan Creation #3 Single Malt
Tomatin Cu Bocan Creation #3 is a lightly peated and exotically spiced Highland single malt from Tomatin Distillery, finished in exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks to produce one of the most intriguing and evocative expressions in the Cu Bocan Creation series. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, it conjures the aromas and flavours of a Moroccan souk, with light smoke, exotic spice, and vibrant fruit all woven together in a whisky of genuine originality and complexity. Why You'll Love It The Cu Bocan Creation series is Tomatin's most adventurous range, and Creation #3 is a standout expression. The Cabernet Sauvignon cask finishing adds a layer of red fruit, balsamic depth, and exotic spice that transforms the distillery's signature lightly peated spirit into something truly distinctive. If you enjoy whisky that takes you somewhere unexpected, this is a bottle that delivers an experience unlike anything else in the Highland canon. Bold, aromatic, and endlessly fascinating. Distillery & Maturation Tomatin Distillery was founded in 1897 in the village of Tomatin in the Scottish Highlands, sitting at over 1,000 feet above sea level in the Monadhliath Mountains. Cu Bocan is Tomatin's lightly peated expression, and Creation #3 takes that spirit and finishes it in Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks, adding a vivid layer of red fruit, exotic spice, and wine-cask complexity to the smoky Highland base. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration. Tasting Notes The nose is aromatic and exotic, with light smoke, strawberries in balsamic vinegar, Moroccan spice, and a lift of citrus and tropical fruit. On the palate, it is rich and layered, with the lightly peated spirit weaving through flavours of red fruit, exotic spice, and a gentle wine-cask sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoke, spice, and a touch of dark fruit. Best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of still water. Perfect Serve Enjoy neat to fully appreciate the interplay of light peat
