The Smokehead Rum Riot Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a powerful and unconventional special bottling from the Smokehead brand, which is known for its rebellious Islay whiskies. Produced by Ian Macleod Distillers, this bottling brings the typical smoky character of the Scottish island of Islay with a surprising twist: a post-maturation in Caribbean rum casks. This unusual combination gives the single malt additional sweet and spicy depth without losing the distinctive peat character that makes Smokehead so unmistakable.

With an alcohol content of 43% vol., this Islay malt is both accessible and intense. The rum finish brings notes of molasses, candied fruit and spices into play, which combine perfectly with the typical flavours of smoke, campfire and salt air. Bottled in striking packaging and with a clear message: this is not a whisky for traditionalists, but for adventurers with taste.

Tasting Note

Colour: Golden yellow with copper reflections.

Nose: Peat smoke, tropical fruit, vanilla and a hint of sugar cane.

Flavour: Powerful and smoky with sweet notes of rum, caramel and spicy hints of wood.

Finish: Langs, smoky and slightly sweet with rum spice and sea salt.

Ideal to enjoy neat or on ice, especially for lovers of peaty whiskies with a penchant for Caribbean accents. Also exciting in a smoky old fashioned or as a surprising base for experimental rum-whisky fusion cocktails. In culinary terms, the whisky is suitable as an accompaniment to grilled meat, spicy BBQ dishes or dark chocolate with sea salt. An Islay malt with a strong character for connoisseurs who love the contrast between rough peat and sweet rum.
