A Full and Inviting Tasting Experience

On the nose, Cu Bocan 15 Year Old opens with inviting aromas of sun-dried fruit and soft smoke. Hints of ripe black cherry sit alongside singed orange peel, bringing a gentle citrus edge to the richer notes. There is also a subtle sweetness that suggests warm toffee and polished oak.

The palate is generous and layered. Dried fruit leads the way, followed by sweet toffee, dark cherry, and a touch of cardamom. The ex-oloroso casks bring a deep, rounded feel, while the earthy peat smoke gradually builds in the background. Rather than dominating the dram, the smoke works with the sweeter flavours to create a balanced and memorable profile.

The finish is warming, dry, and pleasantly smoky. Notes of spice, orange peel, and earthy peat linger, encouraging another sip. A few drops of water can open the whisky further, revealing extra sweetness and softening the intensity while retaining its rich Highland character.

Excellent Value for Whisky Lovers

This is a bottle that offers more than a simple everyday pour. Its age, 50% strength, exclusive ex-oloroso maturation, and distinctive smoky character make it a rewarding addition to any whisky collection.

The 70cl bottle makes it ideal for relaxed evenings, tasting sessions, dinner pairings, and special occasions.

The combination of fruit, spice, oak, and smoke gives each glass something new to enjoy, making it a bottle that can be revisited time and again.
