Created by the renowned John Glaser of Compass Box, for those who love big, rich, peaty and smoky malt whiskies, this is the whisky for you.
Bottled at 46%, "The Peat Monster" combines extremely smoky malt whisky from Islay with medium-peated Highland whiskies to create an approachably balanced monster.
Peat Monster is never less than excellent. Pitch-perfect balance and delicious chewy complexity.
Nose: Peaty with marked salinity, leans to Caol Ila in style. Slightly medicinal but deliciously fruity and sweet. Perhaps a little grainy.
Palate: Yet more peat and this time oak. Botanicals, floral, coppery and sweet with smoky bacon and satisfying hints of papaya.
Finish: A lingering sweetness with again, more peat. A floral aspect with roses and violets and a sweet kick of spice and finally oak.

‘The nose has a simple sweet plus peat aspect to it with a hint of chocolate and I find more of the same when sipping. ’
