Smokehead Sherry Cask Blast

An Islay single malt that turns up the volume. It combines heavy smoke with rich, fiery sherry. This whisky starts with classic Smokehead intensity—huge peat smoke, sea salt, and black pepper. Then the Oloroso sherry casks kick in.

On the nose, it’s bold and dark. Think roasted nuts, dried fruits, sticky dates, and a blast of earthy peat smoke. The palate hits hard. You’ll taste rich smoke, treacle, toasted oak, and sharp spice. Then come juicy raisins, red berries, and a touch of burnt sugar. It’s a perfect clash—peat meets sweetness, fire meets fruit. The contrast creates bold, deep layers of flavour.

There’s also a nice oily texture. It coats the tongue, delivering warmth and punch with every sip. Hints of bitter chocolate and leather follow, balanced by sweet orange peel and a flash of chilli heat. It’s complex, wild, and unforgettable. The finish is long and smoky. Ashy peat lingers with dark fruit and a spicy sherry glow. It fades slowly, but leaves a strong impression.

Smokehead Sherry Cask Blast is not for everyone. But for lovers of big peat and deep sherry, it’s a thrilling ride. Bold, rich, and ready to rebel.
