Description
New batches of THE PEAT MONSTER boast a spectrum of powerful coastal flavours, combining the smokiness of a driftwood fire with more medicinal peat notes. Orchard fruits and rich cask-derived creaminess balance the multi-layered smoke.

- Nose
- Peaty, smoky (ashy, bonfire, charcoal, burning pine), with maritime/coastal notes (sea spray, salinity, seaweed), medicinal hints (iodine), and underlying sweetness (honeyed pears, apples, melon, candied citrus, lemon, ruby grapefruit peel), baking spice, and fresh grains.
- Palate
- Continues with peat and smoke, often described as elegant or balanced. Fruity sweetness (green apple, pear, citrus, papaya), vanilla, honey, buttered biscuits, oak, and a peppery spiciness (white pepper, bell pepper, cayenne pepper). Oily/silky mouthfeel.
- Finish
- Long and lingering, with peat and smoke remaining prominent. Sweetness, floral notes (roses, violets, heather), spice (cinnamon, ginger cookies, black pepper), oak, and maritime character.
