A limited release of 5,700 bottles, bottled in September 2013, to celebrate ten years since the release of The Peat Monster. A blend of Islay single malts with a rich, smoky Brora Highland malt aged primarily in a mix of first-fill and refill American oak, with some 2% new French oak for finishing.

Back in 2003 Compass box created a bespoke blend of very peaty single malts for the owners of the Park Avenue Liquor Shop in New York. They named it Monster and used a 19th century illustration of a bizarre creature for the label graphics. Its success led to The Peat Monster, which has gone on to become Compass Box's best-selling whisky.

The producers say, "For this special bottling, we have produced a special recipe of The Peat Monster, maintaining the smoky, heavy-peated intensity of the classic bottling and adding a bit more malty richness through the use of some very special, quite odd casks of peaty Highland single malt."

Bottled at without chill filtration of added caramel colour.

Αξιολόγηση

Η γευσιγνωσία έγινε στις 18/11/2013

Όψη:

Clear, pale straw golden with gleaming luminosity.

Μύτη:

Peaty smoke, Elastoplast, soot and creosote with salty sea air and sweet freshly sliced apple fruit.

Στόμα:

You'll need water to tame this monster, but water also amplifies wonderful creamy vanilla pastry (cream slice) which balances the salty, spicy smoky peat.

Επίγευση:

Sweet tar, salty butter and lingering bonfire smokiness.
