Compass Box The Peat Monster 10th Anniversary Blended Scotch Whisky

Colour

Deep amber with copper highlights and a mahogany undertone, a warm, inviting glow.

Nose

Powerful peat smoke floods the nose, tempered by tar and medicinal iodine with a maritime brine kiss. Sherry-cask sweetness surfaces as vanilla, toffee and dark chocolate, while subtle oak spice and toasted almond lend structure. An earthy mineral core underpins the aroma, culminating in a refined, celebratory warmth that promises depth beyond the smoke.

Palate

The palate is expansive and luxurious, with peaty smoke wrapping a velvety, full-bodied core. Medicinal iodine, tar and ash mingle with dark chocolate, toffee and vanilla, while citrus zest adds brightness. Sherry depth underpins sweetness, kept in check by a briny, saline lift. Spices—pepper, nutmeg, clove—warm the mid-palate, finishing with lingering ash and charcoal smoke.

Finish

Long, smoky finish of peat and ash, tempered by rich sherry sweetness. Dried fruit, cocoa and spice unfold on the tail, leaving a warm, resinous oak and a final ember that lingers.
