‘Louder, bolder’ Smokehead Whisky released

Share This Post

Smokehead High Voltage is a no-age-statement malt bottled at 58% ABV with liquid sourced from an unnamed Islay distillery. The expression is a permanent addition to the range that will sit alongside the original Smokehead. 

It’s described as having notes of ‘intense peat and smoke, porridge oats, clean vanilla and toffee’.

Iain Weir, brand director for Smokehead, said: ‘If Smokehead is an assault on your senses, then High Voltage is an all-out attack. Louder, bolder and more intense than getting put in a headlock from an angry roadie.’

The redesigned packaging places Smokehead’s skull logo more prominently on both labels and gift tins in an effort to appeal to millennial drinkers.

‘Smokehead has always challenged the traditional whisky world with its unconventional look and attitude, appealing to the younger and adventurous whisky drinker,’ said Weir.

‘We’ve turned up the volume right across the brand. It’s not for everyone, but that’s ok.’

Despite the new look, the liquid in the existing core Smokehead expression, an eponymous peated single malt bottled at 43% ABV, remains unchanged.
