✨ Tekniske specifikationer
First released in 2013 to celebrate a decade of one of Compass Box's most famous creations, The Peat Monster 10th Anniversary edition represents a milestone in the art of modern whisky blending. Founder John Glaser designed this limited release to push the boundaries of the classic Peat Monster profile, delivering a deeper, richer, and more complex experience. This blended malt combines heavily peated single malts from Islay—specifically featuring components from Caol Ila and Laphroaig—with a touch of peated Highland malt. Matured in a combination of first-fill and refill American oak casks, along with a small portion finished in custom toasted French oak, this expression balances intense, earthy peat smoke and maritime salinity with a surprising core of sweet orchard fruits, vanilla, and baking spices. It stands as a testament to the philosophy that peat is not just about power, but also about elegance and complexity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Compass Box blev grundlagt i 2000 af den visionære blender John Glaser og er et uafhængigt boutique-whiskymærke, der har sat sig for at gentænke den skotske blending-tradition. Virksomheden arbejder ud fra sit blending-studie i Richmond i London og har lagre i Skotland, hvorfra de går til skotsk whisky med samme kompromisløse tilgang som en passioneret vinmager. I stedet for at følge standardiserede industrielle opskrifter udvælger Compass Box førsteklasses malt- og grain-destillater fra hele Skotland. Disse modnes på skræddersyede fade af ristet, jomfrueligt fransk og amerikansk eg for at fremhæve helt specifikke aromatiske og strukturelle nuancer. Compass Box er desuden kendt for sin stædige kamp for fuld gennemsigtighed i whiskyverdenen og skaber udtryksfulde aftapninger, der altid er ufiltrerede og uden tilsat karamelfarve. Porteføljen byder på anmelderroste klassikere som den frugtdrevne Orchard House, den markant tørverøgede blended malt The Peat Monster og den banebrydende grain whisky Hedonism samt komplekse særudgaver som The Extinct Blends Quartet og Artist Blend.
