The Bunnahabhain Cruach-Mhona Limited Edition Travel Retail Exclusive is a standout whisky from the esteemed Bunnahabhain distillery located on the Isle of Islay. This expression is a divergence from the distillery's usual unpeated style, featuring a robust peat influence that is rare for Bunnahabhain. The name Cruach-Mhona, Gaelic for 'peat stack', aptly reflects the pronounced peat and sea salt presence in this whisky. On the nose, this single malt whisky evokes scents of fresh hay, coastal notes, pine, lemon, and salt spray, creating an invigorating aromatic profile. The palate is equally captivating, presenting a delightful balance of sweet and malty flavors complemented by white pepper, coastal notes, salt, and a smoky overtone. The finish is dry, smoky, and briny, leaving a lasting impression. Despite Bunnahabhain's reputation for producing lightly peated whiskies, the Cruach-Mhona stands as a remarkable exception. Its name, translating to 'a stack of peat' in Gaelic, underscores the whisky's distinctive peatiness. Bottled at 50% ABV and non-chill-filtered, this limited edition release retains its original and authentic flavor profile. Initially intended for travel retail, the Cruach-Mhona is a coveted addition to any whisky collection.
