Compass Box The Peat Monster

Medicinal peat

Very approachable and easy drinking for a peated whiskey, good smoke on the nose but lacks the malt backing on both the nose and taste, not overly complex and lacking the richness and finish of some peated single malts, very enjoyable, would be a nice daily peated or introduction to peated

Fresh cake and light wisps of smoke. Slight saline finish that dissipates quickly leaving a campfire sensation in your mouth.

Surprised by how good it is. Peat is by no means overwhelming - much lighter than Laphroaig but heavier than Ardmore Legacy. Rather similar to a Talisker, but may have a bit more going on. Not quite as deep though. At $60 I'm not sure that its a staple, but happy with purchase. Neck pour; looking forward to exploring further.

Very good

Light and peaty
