Smokehead

Smokehead Twisted Stout

ABV: 43% 70 cL

This single malt from an undisclosed distillery on the Isle of Islay was partially finished in a stout cask, creating an unusual whisky that combines fiery peat with sweet, smooth chocolate and vanilla ice cream, with nuts and a spicy finish. 

Bottled without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. 

Nose

The usual island intensity of Smokehead comes cloacked in sweet aromas of chocolate and treacle toffee. Maritime air meets a decent pint on the shore. Unexpected, unusual and unsettling for the senses.

Palate

You're past the point of no return now. Hot and soothing at the same time. Salty smoke weaves it's way around dry roasted nuts, toasted marshmallow, vanilla ice cream and... is that someone putting a pot of fresh coffee on?

Finish

Newflavours unlocked. Old favourites reunited, wood smoke and spices. Malty toasted biscuits. Zingy citrus. Dark and delicious. A fitting sign off from the twisted lovechild of whisky and beer.

£55.00
