Compass Box The Peat Monster
The Peat Monster was born out of a limited bottling titled simply, The Monster, that the company produced for the Park Avenue Liquor Shop in New York. Such was its popularity, that The Peat Monster was rolled out as a permanent bottling in 2003. The blend comprises peated Islay whiskies from Laphroaig and Caol Ila, along with Lediag and Ardmore single malts. The peat is balanced out by a small amount of Highland whisky and aged in French oak.
This bottle predates the 2009 outlawing of the use of "vatted malt" in reference to blended malts on whisky labels.
Back in 2000, John Glaser was working for a large UK distiller when he realised that there was so much that hadn’t yet been explored in the world of Scotch whisky. An American living in London, he decided to do something refreshingly different and bring the joys of Scotch whisky to more people in exciting new ways.
So, he started Compass Box, an inventive company based on the long-lost model of the Scotch whisky blending house, but with a forward-looking approach and an unrelenting desire to create deliciousness.
Originally working from his kitchen, Compass Box has grown over the years and now has two dedicated Blending Rooms in London. They now have their own stocks of maturing whiskies in Scotland and a team of over 15 hugely enthusiastic whisky-lovers.
