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.

Seaside bonfire under a starry sky

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.

Pleasant and Powerful

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.

Unpeated or not, Bunna' rarely fails

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.
