Craoi na Mona (pronounced "cree na mona") is part of the growing spirits portfolio of the UK-based merchant, Berry Bros. & Rudd. Translating to "heart of the peat bog" in Gaelic, this single malt whiskey was distilled in Ireland and matured for 10 in American oak casks before it was sent to Scotland to finish for several months in casks used to age heavily peated Islay malt. Non-chillfiltered without added color, it's bottled at 46% ABV.

Smokiness and charred wood on the. Owe. Natural and fresh smelling, like freshly cut grass. An earthy and smooth taste with smoky overtones and a citrus zest. Long linger with the smokiness retreating while the citrus comes out.
First Irish whisky. Harshness that doesn't get balanced out by the peat. Unique flavours of banana and icing sugar but overall it didn't really work for me
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
