Product details
From Ian MacLeod Distillers, the original Smokehead was first released in 2006, a mystery Islay single malt full of thick smoke and spices. Then, in a creative feat Smokehead managed to put its whisky stamp on International Rum Day in 2020 by releasing Rum Rebel, which is finished in ex-Caribbean rum casks.
The savoury, smoky notes from the Islay whisky base pair brilliantly with the sweetness of the rum cask, which brings a very healthy dose of tropical fruit and sweetness to the spirit. It’s a classic pairing of sweet and savoury that satisfies both cravings with bold flavours.
