Description
The Smokehead 15 Years Old Islay Single Malt Whisky is a powerful, matured special bottling for those who love peaty whiskies with depth and character. As a limited edition, this single malt from the rugged Islay region takes Smokehead’s unmistakable DNA to a new level – with added maturity, more complexity and a perfectly integrated smokiness. Bottled at 43% vol., it impresses with balance and expressiveness without sacrificing drinkability.
The whisky is matured for a full 15 years in carefully selected oak casks, which give it a harmonious combination of strong peat smoke, sweet vanilla, spices and dark fruit flavours. The boisterous, rebellious presentation is typical of Smokehead – but with a mature core that makes this bottling particularly exciting. The high-quality gift packaging emphasises the exclusive character of this limited bottling.
Tasting NoteColour: Rich gold with an amber hue.
Nose: Intense smoke, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, roasted malt, leather, citrus and sweet oak.
Flavour: Full-bodied with a dominant peatiness, combined with toffee, vanilla, Ingwerer, spices and a light sea breeze.
Finish: Langs, smoky and balanced – with lingering impressions of wood smoke, salty sweetness and a spicy aftertaste.
The Smokehead 15 Years Old is ideal for enjoying neat at room temperature, preferably in a heavy nosing glass. A few drops of water help to further develop the deep flavours. In culinary terms, it goes well with strong BBQ, smoked game, salty hard cheese or dark chocolate with chilli. It is also a perfect accompaniment to a smoky cigar. For lovers of Islay single malts with maturity and rebellious attitude, this Smokehead is an impressive limited edition.
