    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!

    This is what a campfire tastes like, not a Single Malt Scotch

    Nice container and label. Poured on chopped ice. Went to take a sip and all I got was campire burnt wood smell in my nose. Tasted like someone shoveled campfire ashes into the scotch. Awful. Undrinkable, even with a mixer. There goes $50 down the drain.

    I really like it. Much like the Peaty Proposition that I had not long ago. Only thing is, I simply cannot find an age on this stuff ANYWHERE! I really wish they would publish that information! Inquiring single malty minds would like to know.

    Not Good

    TO HEAVY ON THE IODINE - SMELLS TERRIBLE AND TASTES EVEN WORSE. I'D SOONER DRINK JW BLACK STRAIGHT AND THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING FOR A SINGLE MALT DRINKER
