Single malt Smokehead debuted in 2006 in the offer of Ian Macleod Distillers.
Whisky has been well received by consumers and effectively competes with other malts from undisclosed distilleries on the island of Islay, such as Finlaggan or Ileach. Spokesman Ian Macleod proudly confessed that “Smokehead challenges the established order of the whisky world, and the liquor itself and its extraordinary presentation strongly appeal to the young consumer, always ready to accept it”. We have heard that behind the Smokehead brand there is a young Ardbeg, but we are not able to verify this information.

PRODUCENT - Whisky
The whiskey most likely comes from Ireland. Irish monks were making a liquor known as aqua vitae (the Gaelic name uisge beatha is a translation from Latin) as early as the 7th century. It was a mixture obtained by distillation of fruit fermentation products and used exclusively for medicinal purposes as a means of prolonging life, relieving some ailments (such as colic) and diseases (paralysis, smallpox and others). According to legend, whiskey was invented by St. Patrick. From the 17th century, the shortened form uiskie began to be used, and from around 1715 the name took the form of whiskie. The modern name - whiskey - was established only in 1736. Only high-quality glass is used in professional whiskey tastings. The so-called popular tulip glasses, the shape of which allows you to retain the aroma of whiskey, which is important during tasting. During the tasting, apart from the smell, the taste on the tongue, the finish and the balance of the whole are also assessed, often on a scale of 100 points. The whiskey served may be slightly diluted with water, which reduces the intensity of the flavor. It is also popular to serve whiskey with ice (on the rocks) or with cola, but the latter can be controversial.
