GlenAllachie 9 Year Old Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish
This 9 year old single malt from GlenAllachie has been lovingly aged in hogsheads that have previously held Amontillado sherry. Amontillado sherry begins life as a Fino sherry and undergoes an additional maturation period without a 'flor' layer. This stage of oxidative ageing develops a richer colour and more robust characteristics. The outcome is a single malt that brims with dark cherries, toasted hazelnuts and caramel sauce.
Tomatin Cu Bocan Creation #6 Single Malt
Tomatin Cu Bocan Creation #6 is a lightly peated and indulgently rich Highland single malt from Tomatin Distillery, finished in a combination of Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and Jamaican rum casks to produce the most decadent expression in the Cu Bocan Creation series to date. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, it delivers a whisky of extraordinary sweetness, spice, and depth, with rum and raisin at its irresistible core. Why You'll Love It Creation #6 is the Cu Bocan series at its most indulgent and adventurous. The marriage of Pedro Ximenez and Jamaican rum casks with Tomatin's lightly peated spirit produces a profile of extraordinary richness, with toasted Jamaica ginger cake, bonfire toffee, spiced plum jam, Amaretto cherries, and Daim bar all present in a whisky that is simultaneously bold and beautifully balanced. If you love big, sweet, rum-and-raisin-driven whiskies with a backbone of gentle smoke, this is a bottle that will not disappoint. 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 #6 finishes that spirit in a combination of Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and Jamaican rum casks, layering extraordinary sweetness, tropical fruit, and dark spice over the smoky Highland base. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration. Tasting Notes The nose is rich and inviting, with rum and raisin, dark treacle, Jamaican ginger cake, and a waft of gentle bonfire smoke. On the palate, it is luscious and full-bodied, with flavours of bonfire toffee, spiced plum jam, Amaretto cherries, and Daim bar, all underpinned by a thread of light peat smoke that keeps the sweetness in check. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of rum, dark fruit, and gentle spice. Best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of still water. Perfect Serve Enjoy neat to fully appreciate t
