    Single Malt

    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!

    none better

    It’s the nuts of whisky

    Paul Parker Apr 1, 2018

    Nice, will buy again

    Interesting peaty dram, First impresion ”Arebegish” with nut and fruit twist at finish. Oily rich thick texture

    An accurate name

    Opened this tonight and poured myself a measure neat with a drop of water. My Wife on the other side of the room said "you smell like a barbecue". Big on intense flavours, low on subtlety but a nice drop when the mood takes you

    Intense

    Smoke and more smoke. It is overwhelming and I have to say I love it.

    Michael Enslow Jul 11, 2017

    Intense smoke but not the way you really want it..

    Well... very intense! It doesn't smell that much but is very smoky on the palate. After you have taking a few sips you starts to taste salmiak and vanilla as well. I'll stick to the rock editon over this though :)
