Smokehead Rebel Whisky

Smokehead Rum Rebel is a bold, heavily peated Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Ian Macleod Distillers, the independent family firm behind the Smokehead range. The distillery that produces the spirit is undisclosed, but the character is pure Islay, with a big hit of peat smoke and maritime brine from the very first sip.

What sets Rum Rebel apart is its finish in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. The rum casks layer tropical sweetness over the smoke, bringing notes of barbecued pineapple, fresh mango and cola cubes, before a finish of waxy orange, vanilla and the lingering glow of a beach bonfire. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is a powerful, full-flavoured dram for lovers of smoky whisky, best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water.
