Compass Box
Scotland
A peaty blended malt created by the renowned John Glaser, of Compass Box. The Peat Monster contains malt whiskies from the legendary Isle of Islay, along with a helping of Highland malt in there too. The result is richly smoky, with underlying hints of fruit and oak. Also, the the monster on the label looks like it's seen something particularly scary, which begs the question: what's scary to a monster...?
Peat, marked salinity, leans to Caol Ila in style, something medicinal. Sweet and fruity, grainy.
Peat, oak. Botanicals, floral, coppery, sweet, smoky bacon, hint of papaya.
A lingering sweetness, more peat, floral: roses and violets, sweet spice, oak.

A sweeter version of Big Peat...very pleasant and drinkable..my wife liked it too.
Peaty with a slight sweet finish
lf I wanted to go broke really fast, I’d drink my beloved Ardbeg Uiegeadail or Lagavulin 16 every day. Or, I could have this every day and be much less broke, and just about as happy. Really good stuff. Enough said.
The perfect way to introduce peat to a friend who can only handle blended scotch. It took we forever to find a blended whisky I could actually enjoy and was worth the coin!
I disappointed in this one. I appreciate the NCF and no E 150a. 46% abv. I like their web site where you can see what’s in it and how old. But the juice just doesn’t do it for me. The players and casks they used just didn’t play nice together or marry to make anything bigger then the sum of the parts. Was fun picking out the different malts. There is Laphroiag, LeCheig, Ardmore and Coal Ila and a drop of two other non peated malts. You could do better like a bottle of Sheep Dip Islay I stold for 20$ that was a good whisky, complex, well blended and nicely married.
