If you prefer not to follow conventional whisky norms and are looking for something unique, Smokehead offers a rewarding experience for your adventurous palate.
Smokehead Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky in its rawest form. Immense smoke and notes of sea salt and spice, yet subtly sweet. Bottled at 46% ABV and without chill filtration.
Official Tasting Notes
Notes of oily walnuts, dark chocolate, and pepper seep through black, billowing smoke.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
