Smokehead Rum Rebel Single Malt Scotch Whisky ABV 46% Vol 70cl / 700ml

Rum Cask Rebel

When the Islay whisky rebel meets its rum cask cousin, the familiar peaty punch of Smokehead is given a sweet and furious Caribbean jolt. Soothing citrus and tropical fruits. And is that marshmallow and bacon?

Tasting Notes

the first impression

Hanging out in Caribbean rum casks gives this Smokehead a jolt of immense smoke and fiery peat, followed by soothing citrus and tropical fruits. And is that marshmallow and bacon in there...?

the full on flavour

Face down a fearlessly rich and peaty punch, thick oils and bracing sea spray, tempered with dried spices, banana and dark wood.

the finale

The safety of dry land is in sight. Notes of caramel and cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, add a delicate contrast to the lingering smokiness.
