Smokehead EXTRA RARE Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Gold Design 40% ABV 1 l is an exclusive travel retail edition developed specifically for the international travel retail market. Behind the Smokehead brand lies a closely guarded Islay single malt Scotch whisky, the exact origin of which is deliberately not disclosed by the distillery. It is precisely this mysterious origin that contributes to the brand’s special appeal. What is known, however, is that Smokehead is renowned for its unmistakable Islay character, with intense smokiness, maritime notes and a powerful personality. The striking Gold Design Edition in the generous 1-litre bottle lends this bottling an additional air of exclusivity.


Maturation takes place in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, complementing the powerful peaty notes with a balanced blend of sweetness, spice and fruitiness. Typical of a classic Islay whisky, maritime influences, earthy nuances and smoky aromas combine here to create an intense taste experience. At 40% ABV, the Smokehead Extra Rare is accessible yet expressive. The bottling has a deep golden to amber colour and contains colouring.
