Compass Box The Peat Monster

A Compass Box blended malt that, as its name suggests, revolves around peat. It combines smoky Islay malts with others from the Highlands to achieve intense smoke with fruit and balance. It is bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without colouring, according to the brand. It has bonfire smoke, salt, lemon and a malty sweetness. It is a very interesting alternative to Islay malts for those who love smoke.
