Producer history Smokehead

Smokehead was developed and launched by Ian Macleod Distillers as a brand dedicated to Islay's peated single malts.

Production philosophy

An energetic, disruptive positioning: Smokehead aims for a bold, youthful image, emphasizing intense flavors and the typical Islay experience (smoke, peat and maritime notes), with packaging and communication oriented toward a rock/rebellious imagery.

Territory

Islay (Scotland) — the brand presents itself as an Islay single malt even though the originating distillery is not disclosed.
