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.


The palate of is this Islay Single Malt whisky is no less impressive. Exotic spices and tangerine peel, with a note of black pepper and a deep peaty remembrance.

About Smokehead

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.


It is often described as intense and adventurous, perfect for those who enjoy rich, full-bodied whiskies.
