Ordered gifts for Christmas. They were delivered promptly. The packaging was robust, so it ensures everything is in perfect condition. The glasses are terrific and they’ll be very much appreciated.

Overwhelmingly peaty

My recent encounter with Smokehead whisky left me underwhelmed, as it failed to meet my expectations. The pronounced peaty and smoky notes dominated the tasting experience, drowning out any potential subtleties I typically savor in a good whisky.

What caught my attention beyond the overpowering flavour was the branding, prominently featuring the Smokehead skull on the label. This bold imagery gave the impression that the whisky is geared towards a younger demographic.

As someone who appreciates the craftsmanship and artistry of whisky, I found Smokehead lacking in the taste I seek. While I understand that peat can be a defining characteristic, in this case, it was too overwhelming. Additionally, the absence of age disclosure adds another layer of uncertainty, leaving the maturation process unknown for those who value such details in their whisky selection.
I will not be buying again.
