Compass Box Secrets Of Smoke

Secrets of Smoke is peat with a plot twist. It comes in smouldering and bold, then slips you something sweet when you’re not looking. Think toasted marshmallow, honey, and buttery pear drifting out from a haze of coastal smoke. On the sip, orchard fruit takes the wheel: pear, melon and peach, before rolling into a slow, indulgent swell of chocolate and spice. Bonfire and tobacco linger, then suddenly it’s blueberry flapjack, cherry jam, and something quietly nostalgic. Every sip pulls back another layer, proving there’s a lot more going on beneath the soot.

Master distiller James Saxon

Method Magic Compass Box’s latest limited-edition alchemy. A daring blend of Laphroaig, Caol Ila, Bowmore, Ardmore, and more, each malt handpicked for its smoky signature. To tease sweetness from the peat, Caol Ila slumbered in Palo Cortado sherry butts, Peat Monster parcels in rich red wine casks, and Laphroaig lingered in Marsala barriques—casks chosen to dial up notes of fruit, toffee, and honey without softening that iconic Islay bite. Bottled at a bold 52% ABV, naturally coloured and lightly filtered (never chill-filtered), this is blended malt Scotch with a pulse. Only 9,792 bottles exist—released September 2024, ready to vanish fast... 🥃
