Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed December 2019A new year-round bottling, this is a blended Scotch that showcases several Islay distilleries, with an eye toward “depth and elegance.” Look for a pale gold hue and a floral, grassy, salt-breezy aroma that reflects a delicate hint of peat smoke. The palate is more robust; think shovelfuls of peat, though it pulls back just short of the overwhelm point, allowing hints of vanilla sweetness and grassy freshness to peek through. (KN)

Whisky Advocate
This new recipe Monster brings aromas of waxed lemon and firm peat smoke layered with charcoal, iodine, Band-Aids, custard creams, and blowtorched peaks of lemon meringue pie. Vanilla, fudge, and white chocolate on the palate quickly succumb to a dustbowl of aromatic peat smoke bristling with spices. Lemon bonbons and honeydew leave hints of cocoa to finish. This type of monster you do want to find under your bed. (JM, Fall-2020)
Notes
For those who love big, rich, smoky-peaty whiskies, this is for you. Peat Monster combines smoky and peaty single malts from the island of Islay and the Isle of Mull with rich, medium-peated Highland whisky. The result is a balanced, highly drinkable, peaty blended malt Scotch whisky.
