{"product_id":"cu-bocan-15-year-old","title":"Cù Bòcan 15 Year Old","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf time travel were real this is the sort of whisky we’d be enjoying regularly. A 15 year old, 100% matured in Oloroso Sherry casks at 50% ABV. Subtly smoky, super fruity, deliciously oily. Non-chill filtered. All natural colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirectly inspired by the distillery’s output from the 1960s (the perks of having a master distiller who had worked on the site since 1961), Cù Bòcan’s lightly peated throwback spirit is only distilled for one week a year – making it rare, as well as delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecked out with heaps of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ered fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003edark chocolate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003espiced roasted almonds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBBQ brisket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, it’s safe to say we’re in love. Earie Arygle, whisky writer at Dramface, says it best: \u003cem\u003e“This is hefty and big, quite unlike any Cù Bòcan I’ve tried before… somehow it’s layered, complex and even a bit delicate.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat deep russet colour is entirely natural, bottled without chill filtration at 50% ABV to keep this single malt as the oily, moreish, best version of itself possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCù Bòcan is a peated venture by Tomatin – the Scotch makers of the Club’s December 2025 Christmas exclusive – to bring back the distillery’s original lightly peated roots. Distilled for one week each year at the Highland distillery, it’s so much more than a peated version of Tomatin. Instead, different barley, different fermentation methods, different distillation runs and often even different casks are used, creating an entirely new spirit profile. Cù Bòcan means ‘Ghost Dog’ in Gaelic, and is pronounced \u003cem\u003e“Koo BOAHCH-can”\u003c\/em\u003e (make that ‘ch’ sound soft and throaty, in your best Scottish ‘och aye’ accent).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrowned World Whiskies Awards category winner for ‘Best Highland Single Malt (13-20 years old)’ and earning a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, there’s no worthier addition for your whisky shelf.
