The influence of stout casks in this latest release, are said to have added notes of rich chocolate, treacle toffee, vanilla ice cream, roasted nuts and toasted biscuits.
Commenting on the launch, Iain Weir, Smokehead Brand
Director, said: “Our unique and
disruptive Smokehead thinking has led to some convention challenging, trail
blazing, rule breaking whiskies over the years that don't follow the usual
traditions and rituals. We've clearly struck a chord with those who do things
their way, live life on their own bold terms, and pick a whisky that's as
disinterested in the status quo as they are. Twisted Stout is as far away from
a standard single malt as the combination of tastes, aromas and flavours inside
the bottle. So, while all our releases come with an original twist, our latest
might just be our most twisted yet. Which is just how we like things.”
Smokehead Twisted Stout, is now available exclusively from smokehead.com
for a RRP of £49.99.
