Review by Smokehead

Nose

Hanging out in Caribbean rum casks gives this Smokehead a jolt of immense smoke and fiery peat, followed by soothing citrus and tropical fruits. And is that marshmallow and bacon in there...?

Palate

Face down a fearlessly rich and peaty punch, thick oils and bracing sea spray, tempered with dried spices, banana and dark wood.

Finish

The safety of dry land is in sight. Notes of caramel and cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, add a delicate contrast to the lingering smokiness.

Conclusion

When Smokehead meets a rum cask cousin. Fiery peat smoke and burnt marshmallows, softened with caramelised fruit. Taste the rebellion.
