Description

Smokehead was to introduce a single malt for a younger audience. It's an Islay single malt full of smoke and power. Caused a sensation when it first burst on the scene, Smokehead from Ian MacLeod Distillers. What distillery exactly this malt comes from is not known. Some say it's Lagavulin and some say Ardbeg. Who knows? 43% ABV / 70cl

Nose
The first impression is powerful and fiery, with thick, heavy woodsmoke, rich earthy peat, and extremes of spice and sweetness. You'll notice fresh lemon, zesty ginger, and rich plum jam.
Palate
An explosion of breathtaking peppery, peaty heat, soothed by honeyed sweetness, before the smoke comes to the fore again.
Finish
Exotic spices and a curious citrus tang of mandarin, both lulling you into a false sense of calm as the peat roars back to hit your senses again.
