Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Warm peat smoke curls into your chest like a bonfire on a windswept shore, with tarry seaweed, lemon peel and charred orange rind cutting through a coal-and-ash backbone. Compass Box Peat Monster Cask Strength is a bold blended malt Scotch from Scotland with ABV 55.40%, delivering concentrated peat, iodine, black pepper and a honeyed malt sweetness that lingers on the finish. Best enjoyed with smoked salmon or oysters, this cask strength bottling showcases oak-aged influence and the intense, maritime character typical of heavily peated Scotch without relying on gimmicks.

Producer Information: Compass Box

Compass Box began in London in 2000 when former Johnnie Walker marketing executive John Glaser set out to reinvent blended Scotch through flavor-led artistry and transparency, sourcing single malt and grain components from Speyside, Islay, the Highlands and Lowlands while blending and finishing in London; the company gained attention for pushing Scotch regulation boundaries and for innovative production choices such as creative cask finishes, grain whisky bottlings and clear labeling about component origins, building a category-specific reputation in the blended Scotch and grain whisky space for experimental vatted malts and limited edition releases like Hedonism, Spice Tree and The Peat Monster.
