Tasting Notes

With a label boasting a new, specially commissioned painting, Compass Box’s ‘The Peat Monster’ takes its big peat character to the next level by incorporating single malts with a more aromatic and graceful style of smokiness. This subtle evolution boasts a spectrum of powerful coastal flavors along with orchard fruit and cask-derived creaminess. 46% ABV
