Compass Box The Peat Monster – 70cl
Inspired by feedback from smoky whisky lovers, the Painting Label of The Peat Monster incorporates single malts with a more aromatic and graceful style of smokiness.
New batches of The Peat Monster boast a spectrum of powerful coastal flavours, combining the smokiness of a driftwood fire with more medicinal peat notes. Orchard fruits and rich cask-derived creaminess balance the multi-layered smoke.
The evolution between the Painting Label & the Classic Brown Label is a subtle one. If you’ve still got some Classic, why not try them side by side?
