Smokehead Unfiltered

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 12 August 2022). Nose: Sweet smoke, damp/earthy, black tea, salty/saline Palate: Tobacco, dried fruit, peat smoke, sweet, nutty, salt, seaweed, dark chocolate Finish: Medium long finish. Heather, wood smoke, wood ash, nutty, slightly herbal. Coats the mouth. Smoky and slightly youthful. Soft and gentle as a peaty dram. Quaffable - a session whisky. This is not a particularly complex whisky, it's a young peaty Islay, so you get what you expect - not a bad thing at all! It tastes to me that this is probably a peated Bunnahabhain. Came joint last out of the six drams, with 0% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 54% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky.

I get a cooked plum and dark chocolate under the smoke. A bit of a woody smoke. Not super complex, but I rather enjoyed this taste.

Kansas City BBQ with cooked plums. Very smooth, warming you up from the back of the throat

Less complex than octome and less pleated, but still very good and smooth

Strong peat flavour. Long finish. Will please most lover of peaty whisky

It definitely has a character
