Description
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled By: Ian Macleod Distillers 70cl / 58%
A special edition high strength Smokehead, High Voltage was first introduced by Ian Macleod Distillers in 2018 and has won a loyal following of Islay whisky fans keen on its smoky intensity.
The identity of the Islay distillery supplying single malt whisky for Smokehead remains a closely-guarded secret, but identity matters less than flavour for most right-thinking whisky drinkers, and Smokehead always delivers. High Voltage is Smokehead at its most fierce and elemental.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
The First Impression: Breathe it in and feel the rush of spirit hit the senses and the nose prickle. Intense peat and smoke, maritime air, porridge oats, clean vanilla and toffee.
The Full On Flavour: A burn of hot spirit and the mouth fills with smoke, feeling almost thick with oiliness before softening and becoming creamier, with nutty, briny and citrus notes.
The Finale: The mouth is almost in shock, numb and tingling. A sweetness mixes nicely with the slowly fading smoke, leaving a salty tang.
