Compass Box The Peat Monster
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...?
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Peat, marked salinity, leans to Caol Ila in style, something medicinal. Sweet and fruity, grainy.
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.
Winner of 8 spirit awards
