THE PEAT MONSTER, COMPASS BOX, 46% ABV

A graceful colossus with hidden depths, The Peat Monster layers whiskies of sweet smoke with those of a more heavy peatiness. Compass Box layers curated whiskies from distilleries across the peat spectrum to achieve balance and complexity of flavour. Blended carefully so aromatic, sweet smoke takes centre stage, accented by heavier, medicinal peatiness.

Malts from Caol Ila, Laphroaig and a highland malt blend make up The Peat Monster.

Tasting Notes

Peaty and smoky, with a creamy and fruity character on the palate.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
