What's in a name? Smokehead whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Smokehead whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Smoke! Lapsang souchong. Cool wood smoke. Thick and full. Palate: Big, puckering peat. Smoky, fruity sweetness, touch of sherry, sultana. Herbal. Finish: Herbal, tangy fruits and more peat smoke!

I first tasted Smokehead when a friend bought me a bottle back from Scotland, I think this is one of the best Islay malts, superb flavour real peaty but not to sharp.
What a monster
I bought this on impulse on a cross channel ferry, not knowing the product I thought it might be a bit gimmicky. I wasn't disappointed though, it's a real peat monster and best of all they also sell it here!
