Macleod Distillers has launched a new super premium 18 Years Old
whisky SMOKEHEAD EXTRA BLACK to the UK domestic market. The new Islay
Single Malt will offer discerning and adventurous drinkers a high
quality whisky with a contemporary edge. From its intense, smoky and
boisterous flavour to its matte black and silver bottle, this limited
edition whisky is one-of-a-kind.
Not for the faint-hearted,
Smokehead Extra Black is a powerful and complex Single Malt, with
hints of mint, ginger, cloves and vanilla and undertones of kiwi
fruit and smoky chocolate. The combination of its powerful flavour
and sleek, masculine design, will ensure Smokehead Extra Black will
prove a popular choice with younger whisky drinkers (25+) and
particularly Islay fans.
With only 6000 bottles available
worldwide, retailing domestically at around RRP £85.00,
Smokehead Extra Black would make the perfect luxury addition to any
whisky-lover's collection, or as an ideal gift to mark a special
birthday or event.
The design reflects the 18 Years
Old Malt's limited edition status. A tapered frosted black bottle,
imprinted with contemporary silver letterpress type makes Smokehead
Extra Black stand out from the crowd, while the robust matt black
flight case carrier with silver Smokehead logo, reaffirms that this
product is every inch, 'Extra Black'. The bottle sits in a black foam
interior, is individually numbered and signed reaffirming its rare,
limited edition status and has its own tasting note booklet.
While many will choose to savour
this whisky on its own, Smokehead Extra Black will also appeal to
cocktail connoisseurs who wish to add a distinctive flavour to
classics such as the Manhattan and the Whisky Sour.
Smokehead Extra Black will be
available for UK distribution from today through Harvey Miller Wine
& Spirits Agencies (HMWSA). It will also be stocked worldwide
through specialist retailers and travel retail.
