Smokehead High Voltage Single Malt Whiskey 700ml

Smokehead High Voltage 58% Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a breath-taking intensity, a red light for the faint of heart. And a thumbs-up for those who don’t just enjoy the vigorous thump of the bass drum in their chest at a gig but savour the ringing in their ears afterwards.

A high-ABV variation on the classic Smokehead Islay single malt, Smokehead High Voltage is described as an “all-out attack” on your senses by its producer. Which, y’know, sounds pretty intense. If you’re a fan of heavily-peated whisky, you’re in for a treat.

A peated Islay single malt from Ian Macleod distillers, bottled at cask strength. Intense notes of peat smoke are accompanied by brine, citrus, vanilla, porridge oats and toffee. One for, as the bottle suggests, the smoke-heads.

If the classic Smokehead is an assault on your senses, then High Voltage is an all-out attack. Its breath-taking intensity is a red light for the faint of heart. And a thumbs-up for those who don’t just enjoy the vigorous thump of the bass drum in their chest at a gig but savour the ringing in their ears afterwards

The First Impression – Breathe it in and feel the rush of spirit hit the senses and the nose prickle. Intense peat and smoke, maritime air, porridge oats, clean vanilla and toffee

The Full-On Flavour -A burn of hot spirit and the mouth fills with smoke, feeling almost thick with oiliness before softening and becoming creamier, with nutty, briny and citrus notes

The Finale – The mouth is almost in shock, numb and tingling. A sweetness mixes nicely with the slowly fading smoke, leaving a salty tang
