Smokehead Sherry Cask Blast is a peaty Islay single malt that has well and truly earned its name. Blasted by rich, sweet and spicy Spanish sherry casks, it has emerged as fiery, explosive, heavy hitting dram that has even turned our skull red.

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.
