Fiery Peat and Mexican Passion

Aroma: Delicate citrus fruits, grilled pineapple, and caramelized sugar dominate the scene along with intense peat smoke. There are also notes of vanilla, shortbread, and almonds.

Taste: The flavorful smoke is complemented by an exciting mix of sweet meringue, blood oranges, peaches, toffee, limes, and malt. Roasted aromas of grilled corn round out the picture.

Finish: Long and fresh-fruity, with a pinch of pepper and a spicy-smoky end.

The perfect drop for smoke fans and lovers of exotic finishes: The Smokehead Terminado Tequila Cask Finish has the optimal balance of strong smoke and crisp fruitiness, accompanied by sweet accents. It comes in at appealing 43% ABV, but what makes this Islay single malt particularly exciting is its exotic finish in the tequila cask. It previously matured in selected bourbon casks. 

Crisp Citrus Fruits and Spicy Smoke

Right from the start, the strong peat smoke dominates. Zesty citrus notes and pineapple develop alongside caramel, vanilla, and fresh almond pastries. After taking a sip, sweet sugar pastries, toffee, limes, and juicy blood oranges dance on your tongue. Full-bodied peat smoke envelops notes of grain and savory roasted aromas, leading you to a lingering finish. This is characterized by fruity impressions, spicy peppery accents, and pleasant seasoning. In summary: A fiesta that hopefully never ends!

Our Recommendation

Since this smoky Islay whisky also has roots in tequila, you should also create exciting cocktails with it. For example, mix equal parts lemon juice, dry vermouth, triple sec, and lots of ice. However, you should definitely taste it neat first to experience the many different aromas.

Just a glance at the bottle hints at the powerful peat monster inside. The iconic skull should not be missing from your collection.
