Smokehead Rum Cask Blast

Smokehead takes the wild spirit of Islay and gives it a bold Caribbean twist. It’s intense, smoky, and full of flavour. This single malt begins with the signature Smokehead power—rich peat smoke, sea spray, and fiery spice. But then comes the surprise: sweet, sticky rum.

Matured in Caribbean rum casks, this whisky gains a new level of complexity. Sweet molasses, vanilla, and tropical fruit dance beneath the heavy smoke. On the nose, you’ll find burnt sugar, citrus zest, and a rush of salty peat. It’s unexpected and inviting. The palate is explosive. Think grilled pineapple, dark spice, and rich peat smoke. Notes of toffee and ginger mingle with hints of dried banana and oak char.

The contrast is stunning. Sweetness softens the smoke, while the peat adds power to the fruit. It’s bold, but balanced. Texture-wise, it’s oily and full. Each sip coats the palate with warmth and spice, delivering punch and pleasure in equal measure. The finish is long, smoky, and subtly sweet. Lingering notes of caramel, toasted spice, and smouldering wood stay with you.

Smokehead Rum Cask Blast is not for the faint-hearted. It’s daring, rebellious, and unforgettable. A perfect dram for peat lovers who crave something different.
