Compass Box The Peat Monster

A beautiful blend. Granted I’m not a big fan of blended whisky, this one really impressed me. Ashy smoke with the honey malt coming through with vanilla and fruit notes. Delicious.

The nose on it is very strange, but huge smoke with a hint of sweetness on the taste. Definitely scratches that peaty itch, which I love, but not a ton of body beyond that

Smoky, peaty, fruity, slightly medicinal

Nose - not strong peat but dominates the nose here, I don't note much else Taste - Smoky up front, good peat taste, not oily Finish - smooth finish, peaty, tingles on the tongue, not too long Score - 4.5 a great peated scotch, just smooth taste, peat isn't overwhelming, perfect amount for my taste Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable. 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
