Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhòna

Cruach Mhóna is gaelic for a pile of drying peat bricks and follows on from Toiteach (gaelic for smoky) as a peaty offering from Bunnahabhain. Although Islay is famed for its peat, Bunnahabhain's spirit is unpeated (this being an exception that proves the rule).

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Peat and vanilla, creosote, dried herbs, harbour rope, sweet biscuits and orchard fruit.

Palate Sweet and smoky, lemon, salt and pepper. Beneath there's oak and malt and hints of sand dune.

Finish More sweet smoke and citrus.

Reviews for Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhòna
Oof it just hits the spot
Young, heavily peated whisky matched with 21y.o aged in sherry casks. It can easily compete with Lagavulin 16 in refinement. It is smooth even at 50% ABV. Smoke, sweetness, fruit, herbs and slight zest on the nose. The palate is sweet, smoky, zesty and just great. Ling finish, with lot of smoke, sweetness and very medicinal. Great scotch.

An absolute gem of a dram and stands to this day as the best. A powerhouse of flavour with a complexity that tantalises the palate, exceptionally good. Don't hesitate for a minute about purchasing this bottle, guaranteed you will want more.

Bunnahabhain proves why they are the best
My wife bought this from a cruise and it's fantastic bunna with the peat. Considering this comes from a distillery that doesn't do peated whisky it's better than many others who do. They should bring this to their core range. One of the best to drink. Another jackpot from bunnahabhain!! 5 stars no doubt

Outstanding!
Why don't they make more of this and sell it outside duty free?

Demonstrates that higher ABV can support the youth of a NAS
Nose: There is a peat bog putridness to this that is substantial.

Palate: There is a sherbet reaction on the tongue that has haunts of dark liquiouse on the roof.

After: The palate carries and its not an unwelcome continuation.

Very clean peated whisky
Tuath glass showing tawny to subdued mahogany. The nose shows pronounced notes of peated malt and lightly charred wood. The palate is peat forward with very little alcoholic heat. Surprisingly smooth for a peated malt. Very clean and

Beautifully rich and beautifully rounded peaty islay whisky!
I was lucky enough to be able to taste this whisky at the airport duty free, looking for a special whisky for my whisky loving father - I've picked up the same trait. This whisky is an absolute beauty! Dad will need to settle for a photo until we come out of lock down. I have absolutely no doubt he will very pleased to see me when we can next meet!

Super
Pleated bunnahabhain is always amazing, they need to do more and some age statement pleated whisky in their standard range. Briny, salt and wood smoke with sweet dried fruit.

If only they sold this in the US
Such a refreshing find since US Islay options seem to be limited to the same bottles: (Laphroig, Lagavulin, Ardberg...all great but after a while you wish for a new options). Tried this in a London duty free store just fantastic. Right amount of smoke and so good
