    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!

    Motörhead in a bottle

    Heavy, rough, unpretentious and very very good.

    Howlicky was I? When I asked our local merchant what was the `peatiest`Islay he had, he produced an opened bottle of Smokehead and made me an instant convert,

    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!

    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.
