Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhòna (2010 Release), 50%

Meaning “peat stack” in Gaelic, this heavily- peated expression is appealing and approachable with sweet peat on the nose, plus fresh hay, custard creams, lime, vanilla short- bread, and candied lemons. Malted biscuits, honey, and watermelon on the palate are overcome by layers of peat smoke, pepper, and salty smoked fish, leading to a dry, smoky coastal saltiness with just a hint of candied fruit.
