A New Look for a Beloved Classic
 
Compass Box's The Peat Monster has donned a new label since 2019, echoing a design first introduced during its 10th anniversary. This change coincided with a refined evolution in its recipe, prompting the revival of artist Marc Burckhardt’s captivating artwork to match the enhanced profile of this iconic blend. This visual and sensory update marks a new chapter for The Peat Monster, combining tradition with a fresh artistic expression.
 
Refined Smokiness with an Elegant Touch
 
Still the go-to whisky for lovers of big, rich, smoky-peaty malts, The Peat Monster has matured into a more elegant and sophisticated dram. The latest rendition is crafted to satisfy the palates of those who cherish a smoky flavour, while introducing a more aromatic and graceful style of smokiness. The balance of intense peat with a newfound depth and elegance sets this version apart from its predecessors.
 
Tasting Notes
 
Nose: The aroma captivates with its powerful coastal influences, reminiscent of a driftwood fire intertwined with medicinal peat notes, hinting at the complexity within.
Palate: The taste unfolds with a spectrum of smoky flavors, enriched by orchard fruits and a rich, cask-derived creaminess that softens the robust peat. This combination creates a multi-layered experience that is both bold and refined.
Finish: The finish retains the characteristic peaty intensity of The Peat Monster, yet introduces a new dimension of elegance and lingering smoke that invites further exploration.
 
Craftsmanship and Authenticity
 
Bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered, and presented in its natural colour, The Peat Monster remains true to Compass Box’s commitment to quality. Led by whiskymaker John Glaser, each batch is a testament to meticulous blending and an uncompromising approach to flavour.
