Smokehead 18 Years Old Extra Black is a bold and intensely characterful Islay single malt, designed for peat lovers who enjoy powerful, smoky whisky with depth and maturity. Produced by Ian Macleod Distillers, this expression showcases the signature Smokehead rebellious style, elevated through extended ageing.
Aged for 18 years, this whisky delivers a more refined and layered smoky profile compared to younger expressions, balancing intense peat smoke with dark fruit, spice, and oak complexity. Despite its age, it retains Smokehead’s signature edge—bold, unapologetic, and full of character.
Ideal for experienced whisky drinkers, this is a premium Islay dram that combines smoke, sweetness, and maturity in perfect harmony.
