Smokehead Tasting Pack
The Smokehead Tasting Pack brings together three very different expressions from this range of bold, intense whiskies. It is a selection designed for those who enjoy the smoky Islay profile and want to compare nuances without opening a full-size bottle. Each miniature allows you to explore a specific facet of the Smokehead style, from the influence of rum casks to higher-strength expressions.
This pack includes three 5 cl bottles, a convenient format for tasting, gifting or discovering the range before moving on to standard bottles. At Licorea, we see it as a very practical option for peat whisky lovers looking for clear, uncompromising flavours.
An introduction to the Smokehead style
Smokehead is a brand closely linked to Islay Scotch whisky, an island renowned for its intense malts with peat, smoke and salinity. Smokehead’s approach is direct. It does not aim to soften the character, but to highlight it. Its whiskies usually show deep notes, a firm structure and a personality that is easy to recognise.
This pack offers a clear insight into that philosophy. Each reference maintains the smoky DNA, but expresses it differently depending on the alcohol strength and the type of maturation.
Pack contents
The Smokehead Tasting Pack includes the following miniatures:
Smokehead Rum Cask Rebel 46% 5 cl
An expression that combines the classic smoky profile with maturation in rum casks. This choice adds sweeter, rounder notes that contrast with the smoke and peat. An interesting option for those looking for intensity with an exotic twist.
Smokehead High Voltage 58% 5 cl
The most powerful expression in the pack. Its high strength enhances the mouthfeel and amplifies the aromas. A bold, intense whisky designed for those who enjoy concentrated flavours. Ideal for slow tasting and, if desired, with a few drops of water to open up nuances.
Smokehead Classic 43% 5 cl
The core expression of the range. It represents the Smokehead style in its purest form. Clear smoke, firm structure and a recognisable profile from the first sip. The perfect starting point to understand the brand’s identity.
Process and general profile
All the whiskies in this pack are Scottish single malts, made from malted barley and distilled using traditional methods. Peat plays a key role, providing the aromas and flavours that define the overall character.
The differences between the three miniatures can be found in the maturation and the alcohol strength. The rum cask used for the Rum Cask Rebel introduces different nuances. The High Voltage intensifies the experience thanks to its greater strength. The Classic remains faithful to a balanced profile within the smoky style.
Who this pack is for
This pack is designed for whisky enthusiasts who enjoy intense flavours and want to compare styles within the same brand. It is also suitable for those already familiar with Islay whiskies who are looking for a varied experience in a small format.
At Licorea, we believe the Smokehead Tasting Pack offers something different for those with a solid background in smoky whisky. It is an easy way to explore contrasts without leaving the same universe.
Serving occasions and use
The miniatures are ideal for tasting sessions, small gatherings or as an addition to a whisky collection. They also work well as a gift for whisky lovers who appreciate intensity and character.
It is recommended to enjoy these whiskies slowly, in a suitable glass, to fully appreciate their aromas. Each expression offers a different experience, making this pack a perfect tool for comparison and learning.
This Smokehead Tasting Pack stands out in our selection for bringing together three very clear faces of smoky Islay whisky in a single set. We believe it can surprise even those already accustomed to this style, thanks to the contrasts in cask, strength and expression.
