Compass Box Peat Monster Arcana (2020) is a mysterious, deep, and experimental interpretation of the classic Peat Monster. This limited edition was born from a cask experiment where the whisky matured for an additional two years in heavily toasted French oak . The result is a smoky malt with unprecedented depth, more spice, more structure, and an almost magical interplay of peat and wood.

The blend features powerful Islay and Island malts — including Laphroaig, Caol Ila and a touch of Highland malt — combined with the added complexity of the French oak cask.

Flavor profile:

• Nose: Deep peat smoke, incense, spicy oak, cocoa, sea salt and dark citrus.

• Palate: Intense yet elegant, with smoke, black pepper, ash, vanilla, wood spices, roasted nuts and a subtle sweet undertone.

• Finish: Long, smoky, spicy and complex, with a warm woody note that lingers.
