Complex stuff – well beyond my pay grade - and that’s without any consideration of Orkney, Campbeltown (or even further afield). But then again, the distillery is one whose appeal and reach has grown substantially and whose production volume - Islay-whisky-wise - is only surpassed by that of Laphroaig and Caol Ila.

The release is a 13 year old whisky that has spent 10 years in ex-sherry butts before being finished in French brandy casks for three years.

Cherries and raspberries are still the leading fruit flavors, the smoky notes and well-integrated alcohol accompany balanced.

Whilst in 2018, peated Bunna (often termed ‘Moine’ by the distillery itself) is a fairly regularly sight, back in 2010 when Cruach Mhona was first released, it was all a touch more tentative when it came to peating. These chemical variances are reflective of the landscapes where the peat has been extracted from – Islay: iodine packed sphagnum moss, washed by sea water and coastal air.

In my perception, this dram does not initially offer any "explosion" aromas, but fruity, sweet and slightly hidden citrus-fresh notes.We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then.
