Combining peat and sherry seems like a bold choice but Smokehead have managed to perfectly master it. This single malt comes from an undisclosed Islay distillery and has been matured in Oloroso sherry casks to create this seductively smoky and fruity expression.
On the nose, there are aromas of dried fruit, peat smoke, and rich dark chocolate. The palate has gentle coastal notes as well as dried orange peel and raisin, with plenty of the sherry influence shining through before moving into the pleasantly spicy finish.
