Smokehead Rum Rebel Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
When Smokehead meets a rum cask cousin. Hanging out in Caribbean rum casks gives this Smokehead a jolt of immense smoke and fiery peat, followed by soothing citrus and tropical fruits... and is that marshmallow and bacon in there?
Face down a fearlessly rich and peaty punch on the palate, thick oils and bracing sea spray, tempered with dried spices, banana and dark wood.
The safety of dry land is in sight. Notes of caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla add a delicate contrast to the lingering smokiness.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with honey-gold highlights and a smoky, mahogany undertone.
Nose
Ardent maritime smoke and fiery peat lift the aroma, with bright citrus and tropical fruits rising beside cheeky marshmallow and a whisper of bacon. Subtle caramel, vanilla and warm spice (cinnamon and nutmeg) underline the lingering smokiness.
Palate
Fearlessly rich and peaty on the palate, with thick, oily textures and a bracing sea-spray bite. Dried spices mingle with banana and dark wood, while caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla temper the smoke into a lingering, refined finish.
Finish
An enduring coastal-smoked finish that clings to the palate. Rich caramel and vanilla flicker through the peat as cinnamon and nutmeg bloom, leaving a warm spice kiss. A drying, dark-wood echo lingers with a final whisper of sea spray and lingering smoke.
