Tasting Compass Box Peat Monster Limited Edition

Color: The whisky is a deep, rich amber hue with thick, oily legs that cling to the glass, hinting at the robust character within.

Nose: The nose of this whiskey presents an enticing dance between sweet and smoky flavors. It opens with a light touch of malted barley, with more assertive notes that follow. Laphroaig’s distinct character is unmistakable, with medicinal qualities that add depth and intrigue to the aroma. Balancing these darker elements is a layer of sweet citrus candies and a velvety vanilla note, creating a harmonious and intricate bouquet. A whisper of seaweed infuses the aroma with a touch of the ocean.

Palate: An oily texture coats the mouth, and a sweetness from the nose sets in, joined by rich vanilla and citrusy brightness. The peat gives a more earthy character, reminiscent of damp earth and campfire. Toasted nuts and a hint of nutmeg add complexity and round out the palate.

Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and satisfying. The sweetness from the palate lingers, and the peat takes center stage here.

Overall Impression

Compass Box has outdone itself with this limited edition Peat Monster. It’s big and bold, complex, and utterly delicious whisky that showcases the blender’s artistry. The balance between sweet and smoky elements is masterful, resulting in a dram that is both rewarding and challenging. This is a whisky for those who crave intensity and depth.
