We can't actually ship Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhòna to you in United States at the moment. We're working on a solution.
Don't need to send to the United States?Change your shipping destination - we can probably ship to you!
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).
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.

Amazing

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.

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

Smokey Islay, salty and mouthfilling, touch of sea spray and wonderful dry oak tones. A great find. Tastes like a seaside bonfire on a warm night, a perfect match for a lazy evening of contemplating life... Then again, Islay whiskys always make me feel like life is good.

Absolutely fantastic.

Previous posts summ it up. A powerful long lasting balanced moment of pleasure. No water needed.

Pleasant but powerful peat smoke, malty vanilla with a whiff of root beer (!). Smooth and sweet, no water needed for me. Long and pleasantly smoky finish with peat sweetness.

In addition to the superb 12, 18 and 25 (although 18 is much better than 26, IMHO), I have also tasted two of Bunnahabhain's peated expressions: the Ceobanach and Cruach Mhòna. And both are absolutely great. Ceobanach is a bit lighter and paler than Cruach Mhòna. The latter feels a bit more full-bodied and more towards dried fruits, perhaps a sherry cask included in the process? The balance between sweetness and peat in Cruach Mhòna is absolutely great. It hasn't anything eccentric about it (e.g. as in some of Laphroaig's expressions), but just good old straight perfection of balance between different notes. And peat lovers, don't worry, there's plenty here. You don't need to worry that the usually non-peated Bunnahabhain have been modest here. They haven't.

Unlike lots of other single malts, the color are paler. The taste is as good as or better than most known branded whiskies. Complex, peat notes are pleasantly present but not overpowering. Lite smoke, fruity caramel roll with an awesome finish making you want more!!! For the price, I stash a few for my regular enjoyment!!! Five stars well deserved!!!

Picked up a liter of this duty free on my way home from Scotland earlier this month and it is incredible. Reminds me a lot of Lagavulin 16 actually lots of black tea and tobacco smoke with sea salt.Good and oaky too with some citrus but not too sweet. This is one of my favorite things I have ever tried this is exactly the style of Scotch whisky I love.Bought this partially because of the ratings on here and it did not disappoint this is outstanding buy it if you can. Cheers! The Sugarbear

Purchased this blind, on a whim, while in St. Maarten, having tasted Bunnahabhain "Toiteach" not long beforehand. What a happy accident this turned out to be. Delightful, neat or with a dollop of water.

I do really enjoy Moiné but this is worth the extra money! (almost at least, that's why it only for 4 stars)

Deliciously smoky and rich. A bit marine salty. Fruity and hint of lemon. Biscuits. Spicy in the finish. Beats the he#@ out of Eirigh Na Greine.Good value for money.

I wouldn't have thought to try this one as I don't normally like Smoky (it was sent by accident in a samples pack ) as sometimes smoky peaty types can taste too medicinal , but this one is excellent sweet and smoky and a bit fruity and quite strong . I'll remember this one 10/10

Bought this whisky as I am a fan of Islay whiskies and was not disappointed. It is a little harsh before adding water however at 50% this was not unexpected. After adding water it really opened up and is a beautifully balanced peaty yet smooth whisky. Would definitely recommend!
