Product description
Single malt Smokehead debuted in 2006 in the Ian Macleod Distillers offering and was met with enthusiastic reception from consumers.
Spokesperson Ian Macleod proudly declared that “Smokehead challenges the established order of the whisky world, and the drink itself and its unusual presentation strongly appeal to the young consumer who is always ready to accept it.” We have heard that the Smokehead brand is a young Ardbeg, but we are unable to verify this information. Smokehead Twisted Stout is a 2021 offering, a young, smoky and peaty whisky aged in American oak barrels and partly finished in Pilot Mochaccino stout barrels.
Aroma : smoke and ashes, smoked ham, freshly roasted coffee beans, caramel, toffee, dried orange peel and a hint of salty breeze.
Palate : vanilla, toffee, salted caramel, golden syrup, licorice, roasted peanuts, a pinch of black pepper and peat smoke in the background.
Finish: quite long, with notes of peat smoke, caramel, honey, coffee, burnt toast, a pinch of salt and pepper.
