Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhona

Bunnahabhain, meaning "mouth of the river" in Gaelic, is located on the remote island of Islay just off the west coast of Scotland. Unlike most Islay whiskies, the Bunnahabhain single malt Scotch whiskies are not heavily peated or smoky. The brand dates back to 1881 when William Robertson co-founded the distillery with the Greenlees brothers. By 1883, the distillery's whisky production was in full swing and, in 1963, the increased popularity of Scotch led to the number of stills being doubled. None of the single malt Scotch whiskies produced by Bunnahabhain are chill-filtered. 

Unleash the bold and smoky character of Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhòna. This Islay single malt whisky is known for its intense peatiness and hints of heather smoke. Encased in a luxurious gift box, it's a captivating expression of the rugged Scottish landscapes.

A medium mouthfeel with slightly oily arrival. Coastal, but with some grassiness along for the ride. The smoke is a touch more gentle now than on the nose – brine, BBQ’d meats and vegetables, still rubbery and still tempered by citrus. It’s sweeter than one might initially expect. In the back palate, things become drying and oaky. The addition of water brings out some apples and further emphasizes the citrus flavors, as well as adding a touch of chalkiness and ash.
