Smokehead, 43%

An independent bottling from Ian McLeod Distillers, sourced from an undisclosed Islay distillery and finished in Caribbean rum casks. The peat is quite pronounced on the nose, with hints of mint, fresh grass, and grape candy. On the palate, spicy peat, soapiness, chocolate, tobacco leaf, peaches, pears, blueberry pie, and a general lovely richness. The finish shows nice fruity sweetness, tropical notes, and balanced spice.
