Cu bocan signature
Просмотров 11921 день назад
Cu bocan signature, stems from the Tomatin distillery in the highlands, a lightly Peated expression that is produced for two weeks of the year. Can this single malt hold up to other peated whiskies? Only one way to find out. Stay tuned to hear my thoughts on this one, and as always. Let’s talk whisky #cubocan #whisky #scotch

The latest from the lowland distillery lochlea, the batch two cask strength and it’s a sherry bomb as you can see… but does it sip like a sherry bomb or does it have some tricks up its sleeve. Only one way to find out, stay tuned and as always, let’s talk whisky

Tomatin 15yo Palo Cortado finish
Просмотров 1622 месяца назад
This weeks review continues on from the Tomatin distillery and is the Palo Cortado finish 15yo. A style of whisky which is pretty rare as the casks are, well let’s call it a happy accident. I went live with Scott Adamson last week and we talked through the new range (link is below to Scott’s fountain of knowledge and a breakdown of the Palo Cortado cask) I now give this a go on it’s on and prob...

Thompson Bros 8yo Blended Malt
Просмотров 3973 месяца назад
This weeks un corking is the Thompson Bros 8yo highland blended malt. With two distilleries only with a near 50/50 split. Non chill filtered and no added colour. A bit of a nightmare uploading this with camera cutting out, mic not working but I made it work in the end. Hope you all enjoy and stick around for the make up of this whisky and the price. Enough reading, let’s talk whisky

Loch Lomond single grain (re review)
Cheers Kevin, thanks for the review. Must get one of these. Been on my list for a while. Slainte.
Just to avoid viewer confusion....not all peated Islay whiskies use Islay peat, most do but not all. And some non-Islay peated whiskies do use Islay peat, eg Ledaig.
This was the best whisky I tasted at last year's Glasgow Whisky Festival. Beautiful stuff and extremely well put together.
Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have tried several previous Cù Bòcan expressions. Decent stuff for those who enjoy sherried whiskies. Slàinte mhath
Surprised and encouraged to see you back filming buddy. What a great whisky to review on your return. Very cool story how they only produce during a certain period every year (almost like a Campbeltown distillery I have heard of?). Do you see them growing this production based on how it has been received/selling? At that PPM level and being Highland, it sounds like it would be in my zone. Cheers!
@@drewfromaz7740 it looks like this year the production has increases by a week or two. Previous years I don’t think cu bocan was produced for as many weeks. At festivals and tasting it seems to hit the spot with the whisky drinkers. Enjoying the softer peat and great use of casks. My favorite so far has been the creation 5 which is aged in columbian oak. Sure it’s the first distillery to ever use columbian oak too.
Cu Bocan 15 was always the best thing coming out of Tomatin to my mind
With the possible exception of the Tomatin PX
Hi Kevin hope your feeling better. Another great review I’ll have to put it on my Christmas list
Hi Kevin. Have heard this is a beauty. I see they have recently also released a 12 year Rum cask finish as well. Would love to see a 12 year release from just the bourbon casks it started in. Cheers
Yes it is. The 12yo Rum cask finish is also very good but the 15yo is the pick.
@@DonnerPassWhisky I agree it would be great to see an ex bourbon and maybe virgin oak finish as an age statement and keep it in the core range. The standard signature is great and I think about 5-7yo but a 12yo more bourbon forward maturation would be right up my street too.
Think your mic level needs to go up buddy.
Just ordered one today 10th November 2024, not many left !
Just picked up a bottle on spec. Watchedand enjoyed you review thank you. Looking forward to opening the Bottle tonight.
After trying all the other standard Springbank expressions up to the 18 year old, the 10 remains my favorite - it just seems to have the best balance of flavor characteristics. As a result Springbank 10 found a place in my liquor cabinet for nearly a decade. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any for sale anywhere for almost 3 years now. I've moved on.
Great review Kevin, thanks
Another good review. Just finished a bottle of this and agree with everything you say. Light on the peat, maybe not for peat heads but a good dram never the less. And the bottle is a cracking design. Cheers.
Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have notvtried this Cu-Bocan. Have tried other expressions. Decent stuff. Slàinte mhath
Enjoyed hearing about this lighter peated offering Kev. At 20 ppm it sounds like it would be in my zone and those tasting notes are certainly ones I find to my liking. Thanks for introducing me to this peated version of Tomatin 🙏
Thanks for the review Kevin! Great job 👏🏼 Just saw this in the states at $105.00 after listening and watching sounds like i better get back to the store 😂
2024 version just showed up in Chicagoland! Can't wait to crack it opo it open
Thanks for the review and it was good to see you in the Bon too. Slainte.
Thanks for the review. I liked the turntable previous releases that I tried. Hard to find here in Europe but glad to hear you enjoy this one.
Great review Kevin! I’ve been debating picking this one up. I have the Kilmory which is decent but definitely a bit young.
Thanks for reviewing, Kevin. Interesting whisky albeit too sherried for me. Slàinte mhath
Thanks so much Kevin! Terrific review/thoughts! I will absolutely pick this scotch expression up after seeing your awesome video!! Amazing to watch!! Cheers!! 🙂
This one sounds very interesting. Thanks Kevin
Nice. Meikle Tòir when ? :D
This one is real bomb of cinnamon for me.
Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have not tried this one. (and not a big chance I will as it is sherry matured, so leaving it for others to enjoy). Was great indeed to see you again in Bon Accord. Slàinte mhath
So surprising how they can tame down these younger, higher ABV releases like this. Interesting to hear about this one Kev and thanks again for that very thoughtful video 🥰
Nice review Kevin me and Graeme visited Lochlea last fall with Peter and Denise, Darren was promoted I think 🤔
Sounds great Kevin what’s the price?
I think it’s retailing at £65 somewhere around there, give or take a few pounds. I’ll keep you a sample 🥃
Nice wee review Kevin. Was good to see you briefly last Saturday. I hope the video for Drew turned out well.
Peter - that video what Kev put together with all my friends was so wonderful 🙏. Just the kind of medicine I needed 💙
Decent juice, but I know I’m a stuck record, but the old vintage packaging was the business, still got two in the stash, and they look great
Thanks, sounds like a nice easy sipping whisky.
What a wonderful coincidence! Great minds think alike, as they say. I have just this minute uploaded a whisky review of the Balblair 12 on my blog. I like your tasting notes on this. We are very much in agreement. Google Reb Mordechai Reviews. See there where I research into the term "Double Fired" and give my opinion on the departure of Vintage statements and the new branding.
Just purchased a bottle for a great price. Heartily looking forward to it
Hype is always stupid, in this case it has turned a good whisky into a relic, but hype is created by good old alcoholics who know how to talk well. In reality spending more than 40 euros for this bottle is for impressionable puppets. Poor world.
A good review a interesting blend
Sounds like another winner thanks Kevin
Thanks for reviewing Kevin. Have yet to try (and before that find) a Turntable expression.... but will leave any where wine casks are involved for others to enjoy. That being said, I hear good things about Turntable. Slàinte mhath
Luckily Springbank has got more readily available recently compared to what it was few years back. I think the hype diminished a little bit.
The price had doubled in the past 5 years or so by me. Not worth it at $100 (US).
Just to say thank you Kevin. My new find is Thompson Brothers Campervan, a blended malt. It is interesting.
Great vid👍🏻 Actually think this is better than the 14y travel
Thanks for reviewing, Kevin. Always interesting to hear your thoughts. Currently no Glenmorangie in my cabinet. Slàinte mhath
I have had some tasty Glenmos before (QR 12yr was a gateway for me :)) but hadn't seen this one. I asked someone I know at Glenmo and they said this was actually a marriage of fully matured bourbon and oloroso casks and that it was chill filtered. He said it is feasible that some e150a may have found it's way into the release but not much and only for visual consistency. Looks like you have a nice easy drinker there buddy. Cheers!
Nice review, thanks. I'm from the states and of course we have the Lasanta and I always keep one on my shelf along with the Quinta Ruban, simple but tasty drams....
Excellent review. Back in Ontario there is a similar 12 yr old Glenmorangie Lasanta for £62 with a similar looking label
The Lasanta is the core range sherried bottling. The difference (per Google) is that the Lasanta is finished in both Oloroso and PX casks, whereas the Accord is finished in Oloroso casks only.
