Smokehead Extra Rare 1L

Smokehead Extra Rare Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 1 Litre 40% ABV is a bold, heavily peated single malt from the Smokehead range, produced by independent Scotch whisky company Ian Macleod Distillers.

Originally created for the travel retail market, Smokehead Extra Rare delivers the unmistakable intensity of Islay whisky, combining powerful peat smoke with maritime influences, sweet malt and warming spice.

The identity of the Islay distillery responsible for producing Smokehead whisky is officially undisclosed, adding an element of mystery to this distinctive expression.

Despite its approachable 40% ABV, Extra Rare retains the robust smoky personality associated with the Smokehead brand. Expect layers of bonfire smoke, sea salt, vanilla, citrus and peppery spice, balanced by a subtle underlying sweetness.

Presented in a generous 1-litre bottle, Smokehead Extra Rare is an appealing expression for enthusiasts of peated Islay whisky and collectors of travel retail exclusives.
