The Peat Monster Whisky
Customer Rating
“This seems to be a loved it / hated it drink. I really liked it. It blossomed in the mouth, not in the throat, and I liked that about it. I liked the different color and thought the taste was great.”

Description
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...?

Palate
Peat, oak. Botanicals, floral, coppery, sweet, smoky bacon, hint of papaya.
Finish
A lingering sweetness, more peat, floral: roses and violets, sweet spice, oak.
