Smokehead Extra Black
A new premium 18 Years Old Islay Single Malt Whisky, SMOKEHEAD EXTRA BLACK is launching in the UK.
Building on the success of the multi award-winning Smokehead Single Malt which launched in 2006, Extra Black takes the DNA of the core brand to the next level, reflecting the luxury and limited edition status of this 18 Years Old matured whisky.
Created to appeal to the discerning and adventurous drinker, the contemporary frosted black squat bottle features silver letterpress type applied directly to the glass ensures it stand out presence adding a spot of sophistication and visually differentiating Extra Black as the premium product in the Smokehead range.
Despite its 18 years maturation giving Extra Black a slightly more mellow flavour than the original Smokehead Islay Single Malt, Extra Black is certainly not for the faint hearted. A neck-booklet provides tasting notes, bringing to life the rich, complex and peaty flavours of this distinctive Single Malt. Instantly full of peat smoke with hints of ginger and mint, the taste starts light and briny with gentle cloves, before building with flavours of vanilla and cocoa, creating a rounded and smooth mouthfeel. The finish brings together the ever present smoke with rich dark chocolate and kiwi fruit undertones.
A stylish and robust matt black flight case with silver Smokehead logo, reaffirms that this product is every inch, ‘Extra Black’. While the individual numbering of each bottle, highlights the product’s rare, limited edition status.
Limited stock of Smokehead Extra Black 18 Years Old Islay Single Malt is now available from specialist suppliers throughout the UK and online, RRP £85. For further details visit www.smokehead.co.uk
