Reviewed July 13, 2019 (edited July 14, 2019)Nose: Heavy charcoal peat smoke dominates, but there's also fruit (pear and green apple) and a chocolate note. Taste: Viscous for 46.3% abv and smoke smoke smoke! As it develops the apple along with a hint of chocolate-covered cherry come in. Finish: Medium, with a oak, smoke char, peat smoke, chocolate, raisin and slight nuttiness. On the tail end is a sour funkiness I can't quite describe but isn't very pleasant. Value: $65 USD; overpriced for what you get. Final Thoughts: Glad I got to try this unique NAS pour from Bunnahabhain, but compared to other peated single malts at the price point, this one fades in the face of the competition. It's got a bit of that classic Bunna profile but it's youth is evident. Score: 3/5 Try or buy at a good price Cheers to @LeeEvolved for sharing this sample with me! -

Reviewed January 13, 2019Note, this is for the current Moine. This is a nice, balanced Islay whisky. I was impressed given that Bunnahabhain usually does unpeated expressions. It features smoke, seasalt, medicinal notes and a bit of tar on the nose. Similar notes on the palate, but sweeter than one might expect. Good stuff.53.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed November 11, 2018 (edited August 7, 2023)Note is for the normal current 46.3 Moiné. Bunnahabhain is better than this. Raw, sharp, medicinal puff of smoke. The dry finish is nice, though. Getting better down the bottle, quite all right actually. Great ABV for the price. -

Reviewed September 21, 2018this is a note for the current 46.3 Moine. Now i understand why it is that cheap on dutch websites. As some have already put it here, maybe Bunnahabhain should leave the peat to the real specialists on Islay. This is ok for 30€, but dont spend 60€ on MofM. -
