Review from Barreled from March 2016 ( for some reason I didn’t re-review this while doing the CBW sampler pack reviews) More balanced than I expected given the name The Peat Monster. Natural color of pale straw, non chill filtered and 46%ABV. It certainly has plenty of peat on the nose as you would expect but there is much more. Bright citrus notes like pomelo or maybe pineapple and ripe apples (I know the last two are not citrus). Smokey, salty and a little sweet on the palate that arrives fast. The finish is peat peat peat but fades quickly. Quite good for a blended malt, better than JW Green in my opinion and at a slightly better price. 4.25 is more accurate
