Description
Smokehead is a brand of single malt Scotch whiskies that is internationally recognised for its strong and smoky flavour profile. The brand is part of Macleod Distillers, a traditional and independent family business that has been active in the whisky industry for generations. Smokehead combines traditional production methods with a modern, experimental approach, which makes this whisky particularly unique and full of character.
With this new Smokehead bottling, Ian Macleod Distillers is bringing a true rebel to the market, which is given a spirited flavour by its finish in Caribbean rum casks. The Caribbean flair that develops as a result of the maturation gives the whisky a special depth. The exterior is also impressive, as the Smokehead logo appears in a dramatic design that unfolds between bold red and orange colours and visually reflects the intense character of the whisky.
Thanks to the elegant tin box packaging, the Smokehead Rum Rebels is also a perfect gift for whisky lovers looking for an exceptional and intense Islay whisky.
Tasting NoteColour: Dark gold with a hint of amber.
Nose: Strong smoky and peaty notes mingle with fruity aromas of tropical fruit, vanilla and caramel. A hint of rum-aged sweetness complements the complex flavours.
Flavour: Full-bodied and intense with dominant smoky peat notes accompanied by sweet rum cask notes, cinnamon, toffee and a warm oak spice. A subtle hint of spice gives the whisky additional complexity.
Finish: Langs and strong with lingering smoky peat and a sweet rum cask note that lingers gently on the tongue.
The Smokehead Rum Rebels is ideal for pure enjoyment to experience its complex variety of flavours. It can also be enjoyed wonderfully on ice or with a few drops of water to bring out the smoky and sweet notes even more intensely.
This whisky is perfect for creating smoky cocktails such as a Smoky Old Fashioned, a Smoky Whisky Sour or a Whisky Highball, with its deep, smoky and sweet notes standing out uniquely in every drink.
