Description
The Smokehead SHERRY CASK BLAST Limited Edition is a powerful Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled at 48 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle presented in a high-quality tin box. This limited special edition combines Smokehead’s distinctive peaty smoke with the intense influence of Spanish sherry casks, presenting itself as a particularly expressive interpretation of a classic Islay single malt. The maturation and finish in selected sherry casks lend the whisky additional depth, as well as a harmonious blend of smoky, sweet and spicy notes. With its unmistakable character, the Smokehead SHERRY CASK BLAST is aimed at lovers of intense Islay whiskies who appreciate exceptional cask maturations and powerful flavours.
The combination of robust peat smoke and the influences of the Spanish sherry casks results in a multi-layered and powerful whisky of exceptional intensity. Whilst the typical smoky character of Smokehead remains ever-present, the sherry cask adds further depth and a pleasantly full-bodied character to the single malt. This limited edition combines the uncompromising Islay style with an elegant cask influence, making it stand out distinctly within the Smokehead range.
