Compass Box The Peat Monster is a blended malt Scotch whisky, a graceful colossus with hidden depths, bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtration.
Compass Box layers curated malt whiskies from distilleries across the peat spectrum, blending whiskies of sweet smoke with those of heavier, medicinal peatiness so that aromatic, sweet smoke takes centre stage.
Behind the sweet smoke and driftwood bonfires come sea spray, spiced apple and vanilla creaminess, a balanced, complex peated whisky.
Compass Box, the London whisky maker founded by John Glaser, is known for creative, transparent blending, and The Peat Monster is one of its most loved whiskies.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
