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 smoky-peaty malts of Islay.
This is the great benefit of combining single malts from different distilleries; we are not limited to the production of one distillery. Like a winemaker blending grape varieties, we can create layers of complexity.
Peat Monster in its new livery retains the smoky intensity whilst creating a depth and elegance not seen before. To its original exuberant and elemental character, an oilier and creamier style has been added.
