- Description
- Compass Box leans hard into Islay peat here, delivering a blend dominated by earthy, maritime single malts. Seaweed and lime leaf aromas precede a velvety palate of lemon posset and candied ginger, with peppermint edge and pronounced smoke throughout. The 50% bottling sits at a natural balance point, neither overproof nor dilute. Best suited to those who want peat without aggressiveness, and appreciate honey-like sweetness cutting through the brine.
