About Compass Box The Peat Monster
Compass Box The Peat Monster is a blended malt Scotch whisky from producer MHW LTD, bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 750ml size for $58.41. This peaty powerhouse stands out for its refined balance, marrying smoky Islay malts like Caol Ila and Laphroaig with fruity and creamy notes, creating an elegant 'gentleman in a cloud of pipe smoke' rather than a brute peat bomb. Non-chill filtered and naturally colored, it's crafted by innovative Whisky Maker John Glaser for approachability without sacrificing complexity. Ideal for peat newcomers seeking a gentle introduction or seasoned drinkers wanting a versatile sipper. Compared to intense Islay singles like Ardbeg or Lagavulin, it offers medium peat with more fruit, vanilla, and cohesion, making it smoother and less medicinal, though some find it too blended and less exciting than single malts.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Strong damp green peat smoke dominates with charcoal, earth, and petrichor, alongside green vegetation, peppery wood, milky oak, and hints of lemon or citrus. Subtle fruits like green apples, pears, and orange rind emerge, with floral sweetness, seaweed, and occasional rubber, iodine, or barbecue sauce notes. It's cohesive and surprisingly gentle for its monstrous name.
👅 Palate
Peppery with white and bell pepper spice, medium peat delivers smoky intensity midway, balanced by buttery thickness, mild vanilla, and citrus from lemon and orange. Dark fruits like raisins and stewed plums mix with baking spices, salty seaweed, iodine, and barbecue char on an oily, rounded mouthfeel. Maritime and medicinal elements shine without overwhelming the creamy fruitiness.
✨ Finish
Medium to medium-long with lingering mild peat, heather, hay, sweet honey, and grassy florals, fading to pepper, perfume, wet hay, smoke, and subtle caramel or citrus.
