Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhona

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 50%

Score: 91 Points

This travel retail exclusive is only available at World of Whiskies shops in the major UK airports. Cruach Mhona means “peat stack” in Gaelic, and this is one of the few strongly peated Bunnahabhains. The nose is mildly peaty and briny with grass and heather notes and a muted subtle hint of oak. The taste is peaty with tar, creosote, and caramel underneath, and dried flowers, apples, and pears on top for a great mouthfeel. The finish is lingering and peaty with tar and ashiness.
