SMOKEHEAD is a contemporary, individual and exciting whisky, available in selected bars and retailers across the UK and worldwide. The brand uses innovative, 'stand-out' designer packaging. A distinctive and tactile embossed and debossed tin generates shelf impact, consumer 'wow' factor and brand value. The main front bottle label is uniquely placed on the bottle rear reflecting a variety of adjectives such as Robust, Outrageous, Monstrous and Boisterous, (alluding to the powerful taste of the malt inside), back through the spirit itself.

"Unlike some contemporary whisky brands that have appeared recently on the market, Smokehead is not a subtle flavour," said Iain Weir, Head of Marketing for Ian Macleod. "Smokehead is a heavily peated Islay single malt scotch whisky." He continued, "It's like a cannonball - an explosive rollercoaster of peat, smoke and spice with some delicate sweetness!"

The single malt flavour is described as fresh, fruity and immense, with notes of sherry, iodine, toffee, smoke and sea salt. The taste hits the palate at once with cocoa, peat and some honey sweetness, before exploding with peppery spice and more earthy peat.
