Title:
Compass Box “Peat Monster” Cask Strength
Description:
This cask-strength edition of Peat Monster was bottled in 2022 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Compass Box’s popular blended malt. Aged partially in seasoned virgin American white oak barrels to highlight the whisky symbiosis between Scotland and America — the result is a whisky where rich vanilla, Islay smoke, cinnamon and citrus oils unite.
Nose:
Strong but sophisticated smoke (Caol Ila style), then comes rubbery peat. Bit medicinal and fruity. Water adds pepper. Empty glass smells like gunpowder, nice!
Taste:
Botanical notes with sweet and heavy peat. Bit fruity as well. Water sweetens and softens the palate even more.
Finish:
Dry oak, warming and burning peat lingers well in the aftertaste. Water brings out pepper.
Balance: Nicely balanced vatted malt. Pretty straight forward but good dram.
