The Peat Monster, a no age statement blended scotch whisky from Compass Box. Price $60.00, Sampled 12/9/15 with one teaspoon of water in a Glencairn spirits nosing glass.
Aroma - Distant hazelnut, soy bacon bits, a bit of char and ash, shoe polish, butter, medicinal smoke, lime, herbal, cereal and vegetal.
Taste - Sweet to start, gentle smoke, some lightly sweet almond paste, Apple and ginger.
Finishes with a quickly fading flavor and burn.
Final score : 5 / 5, would definitely buy again.

The cask strength version only sold in magnums, 1.75L at more than twice that price, if you can still find it (only 1,985 produced). My guess is you sampled the regular peat monster.
I agree. Great descriptions sir. Unique and on point. . "Soy Bacon bits". You're an alien and I love it. Also a huge fan of this whisky.
Thank you! I try!
You have a real talent for objective descriptors in the extreme, keep it up!
