Smokehead Sherry Cask Finish is an unapologetically bold single malt that fuses thick, earthy peat smoke with the richness of Oloroso sherry influence. It pours a deep amber colour, offering aromas of charred oak, dried fruits, treacle and warming spice.
On the palate, this whisky is intense, full-bodied and smoky, delivering notes of dark berries, burnt sugar, cocoa, rich smoke and a touch of maritime salt. The sherry cask finish brings a layer of sweetness and depth to Smokehead’s trademark peat power. The finish is long, smoky and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit, spice and smouldering embers.
