Smokehead Sherry Blast (48%)

An Islay single malt whisky from independent bottler Ian Macleod Distillers, finished in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. It is bottled at 48% ABV without chill filtration. The peat smoke is given a silky, warm texture and subtle sweetness by the sherry cask finish. The whisky is limited and unfiltered, preserving the full complexity of its smoked barley malts. On the nose there is pronounced peat smoke, salt, black tea and a hint of apple. The palate brings sweet raisins and dates with almond, spice and smoke, leading to a long, smoky finish with lingering spice and dark fruit sweetness.
