Compass Box The Peat Monster Cask Strength: Origin Story

A limited edition version of The Peat Monster, released to celebrate its 20th anniversary and origin story. When The Peat Monster came out in 2003 it quickly became Compass Box’s most beloved expression for anyone who loves a smoky dram. This blended malt features some peaty names from Islay, Williamson and Caol Ila, as well as a Highland blend, with maturations in a mixture of refill American oak hogsheads, ex-bourbon barrels, refill puncheons, and heavily charred French oak. Bottled at 56.7% abv and limited to 9,126 bottles worldwide.

The dram shines with aromas of barbeque smoke, green apple and bright citrus oils, with powerful notes on the palate of tar, smoked almonds, vanilla and seaweed. The finish has a cinnamon warmth with salinity and cayenne pepper.
