✨ 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 er et banebrydende skotsk whisky blending-hus med base i London, grundlagt i 2000 af den amerikanske iværksætter og tidligere vinhandler John Glaser. Virksomheden fungerer som en uafhængig boutique-whiskymager frem for et traditionelt destilleri og udvælger enestående single malt- og grain-whiskyer fra hele Skotland. Her nytænkes blending-kunsten gennem kreativ fadmodning, skræddersyede franske egetræsfade og et kompromisløst fokus på gennemsigtighed. Compass Box har udfordret de traditionelle konventioner i whiskyverdenen med sin progressive filosofi og håndværksmæssige tilgang, hvilket har resulteret i en alsidig portefølje, der hyldes for sin levende innovation og kompleksitet. Blandt husets mest roste signaturaftapninger findes Hedonism, en skelsættende blended grain whisky, samt anerkendte blended malts som The Peat Monster og The Spice Tree.
