Product description
Smokehead Whisky debuted in 2006 in the Ian Macleod Distillers range and was met with a very positive reception.
Spokesperson Ian Macleod proudly said: “Smokehead challenges the established order of the whisky world, and the spirit and its unusual presentation speak strongly to the young consumer who is always ready to embrace it.” In recent years, the company has expanded the brand with a number of finishes, the latest of which is due in autumn 2022. This time, we have a Scotch-Mexican cross, a young single malt distilled on the Isle of Islay (we don’t know which distillery), aged in American oak barrels and finished in tequila casks. “Terminado” translates from Spanish to “finished.”
Nose : peat smoke, vanilla, butter cookies, burnt sugar, blood oranges, grilled pineapple, honeydew melon and a hint of pine needles.
Taste: smokey and fruity, oranges, lemons, peaches, cherries, salted caramel, honey, white pepper and notes of smoked fish.
Finish : quite long, with notes of peat smoke and ash, salted caramel, honey, grilled melon and pepper.
