Compass Box Peat Monster 10th Anniversary

I really enjoy this dram, but I have so much peated stuff on my bar right now that I don't think I'll be picking a bottle of this up for a while. I know this is a blend of Caol Ila and Laphroaig, but I would swear that it is Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Nose: Earthy peat, citrus, honey, vanilla, ash Palate: Peat, honey, lemon, orange, vanilla, very vegetal. Finish: Medium long with a nice ashy finish like with a cigar Mouthfeel: This is where this whisky stands out from the other peated stuff I've had (with exception to Lore). It's creamy and slightly oily. It feels like it's the perfect ABV and has almost no astringency.

I expected far.more.gicen the rating. The smokiness is on the top of the tongue with a mellow short finish. Scent is very medicinal and not peaty. Color is very VERY light gold

Smokey and briney, but sweet balanced finish

Bacon smoked over a campfire on the nose Texas smoked brisket on the palate with a rich oily black pepper spice Wet campfire, hot mushroom broth and a rich oily warmth on the finish
