Smokehead continues to push the boundaries within scotch whisky by announcing the U.S. launch of their Tequila Cask Terminado.
An Islay single malt scotch whisky brand within the Ian Macleod Distillers portfolio, Smokehead’s Terminado is produced by maturing Smokehead in ex-Bourbon barrels with a finish in Mexican Tequila oak casks. The tequila cask finish provides a noteworthy taste where fiery peat awakes with wild agave.
“Smokehead takes the best of Islay single malt and constantly pushes the boundaries of what classic whisky is and how it’s perceived,” said Michael Sim, Chief Smokehead Ambassador. “Tequila Terminado very much comes out of the ‘why not’ category, taking flavours in Islay single malt to different corners just as our other whiskies already have, Sherry Blast, Rum Cask Rebel and Twisted Stout.”
Smokehead Tequila Cask Terminado (86 proof) is available for $79.99.
