| The Peat Monster |
|
| Kategori: Blended Malt Whisky |
| Brand: Compass Box |
| Region: Scotland |
| Alkoholhalt: 46.0% |
| Ref.nr: 71530 |
Information: Type: Vatted Malt (a blend of single malts from different distilleries)
Tasting Notes: The aroma is a highly aromatic combination of fruit, spice and marine peatiness in the form of a beach bonfire. Adding water brings out aromas that remind you of burning ropes and a touch of iodine. In the mouth it is very full on the palate, rich and loaded with flavour: a bacon-fat smokiness, full-blown peat, a maltiness, hints of fruit and spice. The finish goes on seemingly forever, echoing peat and smoke for several minutes after you've had a sip.
Lead Distilleries: Caol Ila, 10 & 11 years-old; Ardmore, 12-17 years-old
Casks: First Refill American oak, ex-bourbon
Bottling Details: 46%, not chill filtered, natural colour
Drinking Recommendations: More of an after dinner and into-the-late-hours-of-the-evening-type of whisky. Drink it neat or with a few splashes of (bottled, preferably) water. Excellent with certain kinds of blue vein cheeses.
John's Notes: This one's for the real peat heads, and for lovers of complex, multilayered malt whisky. What makes it fit into the Compass Box house style is the balance of richness and subtle sweetness that the old casks of Ardmore provide to the smoky-peaty Caol Ila. As with all our whiskies, several months of marrying allow all the flavours of each of the whiskies to knit together to form what is our biggest and most complex offering. Not over the top, (that's just not our style), but big, complex and balanced. |

Information: "I love whisky because of the aromas. Because of the flavours. Because it’s a natural product. Because whisky making is a time-honoured craft. Because of the way it makes you feel when you drink it. Because the stuff is always changing, and no one can ever know everything there is to know about whisky.
I love it because drinking whisky with friends is one of life's great pleasures.
When people ask me what I love about the whisky business, there is always one image I describe. It’s the image--and the aromas that go with it--of a whisky warehouse. Have you ever been in a whisky warehouse? I love being inside them. These are the places where casks and casks of whisky lay maturing. Whisky warehouses have this heady, great aroma. I just love it: you smell the wood from the casks and all sorts of fruity compounds evaporating off the whisky into the air--it all sort of rolls into you like a cloud as you enter the warehouse. I guess it’s more a “bouquet” than simply an aroma, because it’s so complex, comprised of so many different, complementary aromas.
Whatever.. I love it."
