Smokehead is a superb, cult single malt from Ian MacLeod. Just a massive, thick peat smoke rich dram. Plenty of great south Islay character.
Smoke! Lapsang souchong. Cool wood smoke. Thick and full.
Big, puckering peat. Smoky, fruity sweetness, touch of sherry, sultana. Herbal.
Herbal, tangy fruits and more peat smoke!
£6.00 - £54.99
Well, it is what a classic south Islay whisky should be. It's peaty, and challenging if you aren't used to the style - like drinking an Arbroath Smokie. But here's the thing, the altruistic chaps at Master Of Malt quite often have some of the big Islay names at better prices - just sayin'.
I would rate this a fine peaty Dram .Good value for money Does it live up to its name SMOKEHEAD I would give it a 6 out of 10. Not in same league as the other powerful Islay powerhouses
Just pray, no play. I have no problem with smoke and peat, I just like it when there's layers to it and this just doesnt't have it. Seriously lacks in complexity, even after different attempts at watering it down. All in all not bad, but disappointing at least.
I absolutely love it, proper smokey taste with none of the TCP that Laphroaig has, my favourite.
Bottles of SmokeHead was in the past most likely young (ca. 8 years old) Ardbeg. However I almost certain that it is no longer Ardbeg in the bottle and that it is now Caol Ila that is used in newer bottling of SmokeHead. Why do I think so, a brand ambassador from SmokeHead told me they had changed supplier at least once. He was not allowed to say from what to what distillery, but did say that my guess was a good educated guess. I could still be dead wrong, though. ;-) If you like peated whiskies, with fresh peat, then this should be right up your alley.
