Smokehead

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Ian MacLeod

ABV: 43%

Score: 87 Points

The nose on this no-age-statement Islay single malt is peaty with notes of brine and seaweed, along with heather and dried grass. The taste is thick with a peaty burn at first that fades to briny and grassy notes with a slight tarriness. The finish is ashy and short.
