Compass Box The Peat Monster

The Peat Monster is a Blended Malt, which is a combination of strongly peated and medium peated Single Malts. With the maturation in American oak and French oak for a smaller part, the smoke is slightly brought to the background, which makes the Whisky balanced and 'enjoyable'. The Malt mainly contains refilled Hogsheads from Caol Ila, refill Hogshead from Laphroaig and Blended Malt matured in French oak from the Highlands for a small part.

Almost reminiscent of Tolkien's Watcher in the Water, Peat Monster is not for the faint of heart. Fueled by a blend of Caol Ila and Laphroaig, the nose unleashes bonfire-medicinal hybrid smoke, iodine and white pepper. Seaweed, grapefruit and a touch of mead are covered in ash. After a fearless, sweet and spicy attack, the palate marches on with raw peatiness, creamy citrus fruits and anise. Slightly dry towards the end, the finish emphasizes eucalyptus, smoked ham and hints of brine. A whisky with fire and depth, this creature takes no prisoners!
