Smokehead Rum Rebel is an experimental and rebellious single malt from Islay, matured in ex-Caribbean rum casks. The result is a dramatic interplay of smoky peat and sweet, tropical rum influence, creating a whisky that’s bold, playful, and full of character.
On the nose, it combines traditional Islay smoke with charred pineapple, banana, and marshmallow. The palate delivers briny peat, molasses, salted caramel, and dark fruit, with a finish that lingers with smoke, spice, and a juicy sweetness.
Taste
Nose: Intense peat smoke, charred pineapple, banana, burnt marshmallow, sea salt, and a touch of vanilla.
Palate: Bold and oily with rich peat, molasses, peppery spice, tropical fruit (grilled pineapple, banana), salted caramel, and smoky bacon?like notes.
Finish: Medium to long — lingering smoky embers, tropical fruit sweetness, black pepper, and a soft woody warmth.
Drinking
Best enjoyed neat so you can fully appreciate the smoky and sweet contrast. Add a few drops of water to soften the peat and bring forward the fruitier rum notes. It also works well over a large ice cube for a gentler, slushy evolution.
About

Notable Attributes: No age statement, 46% ABV, finished in Caribbean rum casks, peaty and experimental.
Why Buy It: This is a fantastic choice for whiskey drinkers who love smoky peated malts but want something with a twist — the rum cask finish gives it a lively, fruity sweetness that makes it feel rebellious and fun, without sacrificing Islay’s smoky soul.
