No Name III is the third and final release in Compass Box’s No Name series, which explores heavily peated whisky. This edition prominently features 74.7% single malt from Laphroaig Distillery, known for its seaweedy and barbecue-scented peat. It also includes contributions from Bowmore (11.3%), Mortlach (7.5%), and Clynelish (6%), adding depth and fruity notes. This expression is designed to push the boundaries of smoky whisky, offering a vibrant and expansive peat experience.
