A whisky for lovers of complex, multi-layered peaty whiskies. What makes
it fit perfectly into the Compass Box house style is the balance of richness and
subtle sweetness that the casks of Highland malt provide to the smokypeaty
Islay and island malts. This is the great benefit of combining single
malts from different distilleries; we are not limited to the produce of one
distillery. Like a winemaker blending grape varieties, we can create layers of
complexity. For recent batches, we have introduced even more complexity by
adding some south shore Islay malt and island malt to enhance the peatiness
and earthiness. As with all our whiskies, several months of marrying before
bottling allow the flavours of each of the whiskies to knit together.

Peat Monster is part of the Signature Range from Compass Box. The five Scotch
whiskies in this range cover the entire spectrum of Scotch whisky styles, from
the delicate, sweet character of Asyla, to the subtle vanilla, clove and fruity
characteristics of Oak Cross, the rich and spice notes of The Spice Tree, the peatysmoky
character of The Peat Monster and the elegant flavours of vanilla cream,
toffee and coconut in Hedonism. Each is made from the highest quality casks,
to create more complexity. The whiskies are combined according to each
recipe and returned to casks for marrying up to 24 months before bottling.
