Special Cask Strength Bottling, 54.7%, $120
A special bottling for Park Avenue Liquor, the birthplace of The Peat Monster. As you’d expect, solid peat is the first thing out of the glass, but this isn’t just a peat beast. Underneath is honey, dried fruit, and malt. The palate is all about balance with honeyed malt, raisin, and oak spice all complementing smoky peat. A lush mouthfeel makes you forget it’s cask strength. A pure love note in a glass from Compass Box to Park Avenue Liquor. (Park Avenue Liquor Store Exclusive) 95 Points
