    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!

    Incredible whisky

    Wow this is great value, i think it’s a young Lagavulin but it could be the famous chameleon Caol Ila. There’s a perfect balance of oaky-ness and Sherry, well rounded and memorable. Very smooth, despite the young age. Bought on offer for £25, a bargain. T

    Smoke, smoke, and more smoke

    Smoke. A touch of sherry and fruit on the palate, but mostly smoke - which is fine by me! I bought this on offer at £27, and at that price it's decent value.

    Not the worst

    Someone called this “the worst whisky” but sorry, that just is not true for me. This outpoints the Ardbeg Wee Beastie by some margin. Smoother, more palatable, chewier. I agree about the smell of rubber, the nose can put you off but the taste is immaculate, smoky and a touch of fruits.
