Daring and unconventional, Smokehead Islay Single Malt is a peated whisky. Defiantly different and uncompromising, this Single Malt Scotch whisky is bold and powerful. Deeply smoky and earthy, the nose carries aromas of spices, citrus, ginger and plum jam.
Smokehead is a bold and distinctive brand of Scotch whisky known for its peaty, smoky flavors that appeal to whisky lovers seeking something intense and unconventional. Launched in 2006, Smokehead is produced by the Ian Macleod Distillers, a well-respected independent family-owned company based in Scotland.
The whisky is created from malted barley that is distilled in one of Scotland’s renowned distilleries, though the exact distillery remains undisclosed, which adds an element of mystery to the brand. The core feature of Smokehead is its strong, peaty character, with a powerful smokiness that dominates its flavor profile.
