Description

Compass Box Whisky's The Peat Monster combines smoky and peaty single malts from the island of Islay and the Isle of Mull with rich, medium-peated Speyside whisky. The result is a peaty and smoky delight with rich citrus notes of liquorice and spicy, sweet complexity. Balanced and highly drinkable, this is a very approachable blended malt monster, yet a monster nonetheless. It is an unconventionally elegant combination of Islay single malts, interwoven to deliver complex layers of peat and smoke, described as a graceful colossus with hidden depths. [cite: Paneco, 5, 20, 29]
