    Smokehead (43%)

    Smokehead is a superb, cult single malt from Ian MacLeod. Just a massive, thick peat smoke rich dram. Plenty of great south Islay character.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    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!

    Chewy, one to savour!

    Just enjoying my first dram from my first ever bottle bought on special offer at my local supermarket. Wow this one is one to savour....and I mean, several minutes between each neg. It's THAT chewy! It has the smoke and peatiness of Ardbeg but an even deeper, fatter rounded out bottom to it. Don't be put off by the somewhat yoof-oriented label (which almost put me off in the shop).

    Bought for £25

    I bought this for £25 on offer and at that price point it is decent. I wouldn't pay full price however - I'd rather spend an extra few quid and get a bottle of PC10 or any Ardbeg.

    Excellent taste and value - in my top 3

    Up there with Ardbeg and Laphroaig Quarter Cask in my humble opinion. One of the best Single Malts, especially on price!

    Lovely and Smokey...

    Love this whisky - does what it says on the tin. P. S It comes in a tin!
