Description

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled By: Ian Macleod Distillers 70cl / 48%

A special edition Smokehead, the mystery Islay single malt whisky from Ian Macleod Distillers. Smokehead Sherry Bomb has been 'heavily influenced' by Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 48% without colouring or chill filtration.

Smokehead is on a roll of late, and Smokehead Sherry Bomb ticks a lot of our boxes - subtle it ain't, but if you're a fan of intense peatiness and sherried sweetness this is going to be right up your street.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

The First Impression: Thick peat lets you know you’ve got a serious Islay single malt on your hands. Then a fruitier, creamier feel – soft rich oak, soothing custard and vanilla. But don’t get comfortable – this is only the beginning.

The Full On Flavour:
Tie yourself down and wait for the hit of oily black smoke, with a rich, heavy mouthcoating peaty feel. Then along comes a sweet sticky flavour of barbecued banana (yes, really), tangy sultanas and dried fruits. Told you it was different.

The Finale:
The peat returns, just as you hoped/feared it would. This time it’s brought some authentic Spanish sherry oakiness with it, pleasingly and disturbingly sweet. And one last sharp salty reminder that you’re not dealing with the ordinary here.
