Smokehead Sherry Bomb

Nose: Thick peat lets you know you’ve got a serius Islay single malt on your hands. Then a fruitier, creamier feel -soft rich oak, soothing custard and vanilla.

Palate: Tie yourself down and wait for the hit of oily black smoke with a rich, heavy mouthcoating peaty feel. Then along comes a sweet sticky flavour of barbecued banana, tangy sultanas and dried fruits

Finish: the peat returns, just as you hoped/feared it would. This time it’s brought some authentic Spanish sherry oakiness with it, pleasingly and disturbingly sweet. and one last sharp salty reminder that you’re not dealing with the ordinary here-
