Smokehead
Brief Story of Smokehead Whisky
Smokehead is a single malt whiskey from the isle of Islay that comes from an undisclosed distillery. Ian MacLeod Distillers introduced it in 2006, and it is packaged in a modern form with the goal of capturing the imagination of the younger spirits consumer.
Ian MacLeod Distillers has been around since 1933. Peter Russell & Co. bought the company in 1963, and it was long known as the maker of the popular 'Isle of Skye' blended Scotch brand. Russell was the son of experienced whisky broker Leonard Russell, and he appeared to have inherited both his father's and his father's nose for fine whisky and a good deal. Ian MacLeod Distillers grew to be a highly successful company under his leadership, specializing in the supply of own-brand whisky to supermarket chains all throughout Europe.
Smokehead debuted in 2006, just as the spirits industry was attempting to capitalize on growing interest in the category. The beverage is said to come from a certain southern-Islay distillery located roughly 3 miles from Port Ellen on the Kildalton coast, though its origins are unknown. While this spirit is rarely found outside of official distillery bottlings, Ian MacLeod's background as a whisky broker may indicate that they have long-term agreements in place that would allow them to do so.
Why is it a great choice?
With rich, seaweed and highly peaty tones, the Smokehead single malt is designed to satisfy younger consumers. It falls into the Kildalton taste group.
The question is, what is the experience of drinking the products of this brand like and how does it taste? Let's see what kind of products that this brand can offer to you as a consumer.
Let’s start with Smokehead Peated Whisky, It has a medicinal scent with hints of peat smoke, brine, liquorice, vanilla, caramel, and honey. Vanilla, Creamy Fudge, Smoke and Ash, Sea Salt, and Liquorice dominate the flavor profile. A salty Islay dram that isn't quite as smoky as the name suggests, but still a delicious taste of the famous whisky island and cheaply priced.
Next is Smokehead 18 years, It resembled a smoke sauna in the middle of a swamp in the north. You will immediately smell and feel burning wood, which will quickly fade away and be replaced by powerful peat. It has a lot of depth to it. It may not be as distinctive as some of the "big boys" of smokey drams, but it is unquestionably rich.
Smokehead is an approachable Islay that conveys something interesting without completely capturing you. It's a great warm-up act for the more dominant Islay malts, as it's very approachable and agreeable. A little patience and a drop of water can improve the whole experience.
