Smokehead Tequila Cask Terminado (70cl, 43%)

Smokehead Tequila Cask Terminado is a heavily peated Islay single malt whisky. After maturation in former bourbon casks, it is finished in Mexican tequila casks. Alongside peat smoke, citrus and tropical fruit come through, especially blood orange, lime and grilled pineapple. It is bottled at 43% in a 0.7 litre bottle with gift packaging. The nose combines heavy peat smoke with juicy blood orange and grilled pineapple. The palate is full and mouth-filling, with peat smoke followed by meringue, blood orange and grilled pineapple, plus toffee, lime and overripe peach and a peppery note. The long finish joins peat smoke and fruit with charred oak and old leather.
