Tasting Notes
"The virgin oak casks have certainly done their job. Vibrant vanilla and coconut dominate, but leave some room for fresh peat, apple sauce, and pineapple. As expected, the palate is lightly peated and somewhat ashy, with faint notes of pears and vanilla. The Cù Bòcan ends on a spicy note."
