Compass Box Peat Monster Arcana
Regular price $130.00
Using three French oak custom casks which had already been used to mature Compass Box's Highland Malt Blend, they were filled with a cask strength version of The Peat Monster. More than two years later, the French oak had imparted extra creaminess, spice notes and a chocolatey profile – it had also mellowed the whisky’s smokiness. What started as The Peat Monster became something rather different.
Peat Monster Arcana celebrates mysteries but there will be no secrets. This is a blend of malt whiskies from the Talisker, Miltonduff and Ardbeg Distilleries which, when married together, they create an assertive and spicy experiment.
