Smokehead High Voltage (58%)

Smokehead High Voltage is a cask strength Islay single malt bottled by Ian Macleod Distillers at 58%. It is the most intense bottling in the Smokehead range, and it is unfiltered. The whisky comes from an Islay distillery that is not named. The nose opens with dense peat smoke, coastal brine and bright citrus, with vanilla, toffee, chocolate and porridge oats underneath. The palate is bold and oily, with smoke layered over sweet and savoury notes. The finish is long and powerful, with lingering smoke, spice and a little sweetness.
