Michael Sim, Chief Smokehead Ambassador commented: “Smokehead takes the very best of Islay single malt and continually pushes the boundaries of what basic whisky is and the way it’s perceived. Tequila Terminado very a lot comes out of the “why not” class, taking flavours in Islay single malt to completely different corners simply as our different whiskies have already got, Sherry Blast, Rum Cask Insurgent and Twisted Stout.
Smokehead has at all times ripped up the rule e book, due to this fact ending a peated single malt in a tequila cask is nothing ground-breaking for us. It was a pure step now that Tequila casks can be utilized in single malt maturation, permitting us to mix our closely peated Smokehead and fabulous Tequila casks. The result’s a whisky that’s exhausting to place your finger on by way of style and magnificence, simply the way in which we prefer it!”

GSN’s Remarks: A stunning smoky nostril, married with a candy and barely vegetal sweetness. On the palate, issues are much more fascinating, with a malty richness that carries with it the ghost of agave. Fairly pleasant and agreeable, the tequila barrel growing old provides a candy, close to fruity high quality. A medium-long end which ends on a flippantly wood-smoked word. It is a outstanding sipper, and one which is firing on all cylinders. Seize a bottle or two whilst you can. GSN Ranking: A+
