In celebration of their 20th anniversary, Compass Box has released a limited-edition version of The Peat Monster blended malt. Peat Monster Arcana was made by taking a cask strength version of the original bottling and then maturing it in three French oak custom casks for more than two years. It was then blended with malt whiskies from Talisker, Miltonduff and Ardbeg Distilleries in order to create a rich, spicy and smoky profile. A perfect pairing with blue cheese!

Aromas of chocolate, cinnamon and tar fill the nose, while the palate is fruity and waxy with notes of lemons, shortbread and orange peel. Peat smoke lingers throughout to a dry and delicious finish.

A limited-edition blended whisky from Compass Box, Rogues’ Banquet is a blend of a refill hogshead, a re-charred barrel, re-charred hogsheads and grain whisky matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel. When creating this expression, lead whisky maker James Saxon chose whiskies imbued with jubilant and exotic flavours; this blended comprises malt whiskies from Miltonduff, Clynelish and Glen Elgin Distilleries, with grain whisky from the North British DIstillery.

A mix of fresh fruits (ripe pear), tropical fruits (pineapple and papaya) and dried fruits (apricot) create a gorgeous bouquet on the nose, alongside sweet notes of marshmallow and vanilla custard. Fruits continue to burst on the palate, with spicy ginger and caramelised nuts appearing in between each sip of this creamy blend. Spices linger in the finish alongside creamy pastry.

Rich and dark fruit notes on the nose, with plenty of spice. Also intense Christmas cake and oak flavours, which extend upon tasting, with a powerful mix of nutty fruits, and rich sherry. A long, chocolatey and spiced finish – like the legenary tale, this whisky is dark and intense – a fabulous blend.

Dewar’s Signature is a celebration of the Blender’s art. A full rich oak finish, complex, lingering and smooth.

This fabulous expression from Dewar’s has been well aged in oak casks after blending before enjoying a finish in a mystery cask. The result is a wonderfully refined whisky.

The nose is gentle, inviting, and elegant. The palate brings rich honey, peach, and Granny Smith apples before leading into the long and luxurious finish.
