Islay Whisky

A 28 year old vatting of bourbon barrels from an undisclosed Islay distillery. From Whisky Base the consensus seems to be that it is most likely Lagavulin. By all accounts it's a cracker... with a score over 90 at the time of writing.

Smokehead Rum Riot Islay is a single malt whisky from the Islay region of Scotland. It is aged for nine years in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in Caribbean rum casks. The whisky has a deep, smoky flavour and aroma, with notes of peat, sea salt, and sweet tropical fruit.

An 'explosive' limited-edition whisky from Smokehead, adding in a punch of sherry character to the anonymous peaty dram. It's matured in Oloroso sherry casks, fusing the big smoke with equally big sweetness and dried fruit notes.

A high-ABV variation on the classic Smokehead Islay single malt, Smokehead High Voltage is described as an "all-out attack" on your senses by its producer. Which, y'know, sounds pretty intense. If you're a fan of heavily-peated whisky, you're in for a treat.

Nose: Burnt biscuits, dried earth and a kick of black pepper.

Palate: Oily barley and intense campfire smoke, with a hint of brown sugar underneath.

Finish: Sea salt, oat cakes and smoked paprika.

Nose: Heavy smoke and peat. Amazing richness. Lemon, fresh ginger, plum jam. Salty and spicy.

Body: Like a cannonball - hits the palate at once with cocoa, peat and some honey sweetness then explodes with peppery spice and more earthy peat. Spreads to all the areas of your mouth with more peat and light sweetness.

Finish: Even more peat, spice, mandarin - then dries up. When you think it?s all over the peat comes back to hit you again.

A smoky, tropical whisky from Smokehead, matured in ex-rum casks, that offers notes of medicinal peat, sweet caramel, burnt pineapple and caramelised bananas.

Palate: BBQ smoke, stem ginger, sherried peels, sea salt, rum-raisin ice cream.

Finish: Clove, red chilli flake, treacle.

Single cask Islay whisky bottled to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Belgian independent bottler the Nectar. After initial maturation in American oak, this distinctive single malt was filled into dessert wine casks from Monbazillac. A great combination of sweet wine cask influence and coastal peatiness.
