Additionally, 1% of the blended malt whisky includes a blend of single malts from the Highlands which matured in custom French oak barrels with a heavy toast. The malts were married together for several months before bottling without added color or chill-filtration at 46% ABV. All previous batches of The Peat Monster will be referred to as Classic Brown Label.

Tasting Notes

"The nose is akin to apples and pears being roasted over mesquite on a beach (brine, sweet smoke, fruit). Milk chocolate coats the palate along with smoked ham, sweet thyme, rosemary, raspberries, and pipe tobacco smoke. There's a hint of musty leatheriness (in a good way), as well as a slight medicinal quality leading into a long, sweet, peaty, and slightly briny finish. "
