Smokehead has added a new flavour to its whisky range, Twisted Stout. Finished in stout casks, the smoky single malt delivers an “unexpected and unusual” taste with silky-sweet smoothness and is available worldwide. The "usual fiery intensity and peat of Islay malt whisky" is combined with sweet, smooth chocolate aromas. Mikey Sim at Smokehead, said: “Beyond the brand, Smokehead continues to lead innovation in the world of whisky with its contemporary methods of finishing. Breaking boundaries is our team’s forte - we are constantly seeking to revolutionise and inspire the wider drinks industry with our daring expressions. Twisted Stout is now available globally, by popular demand. Our customers love our non-conformist and brilliantly rebellious nature, which is our ethos.” Twisted Stout (70cl/700ml) 43% ABV is available worldwide via specialist retailers for an RRP of £56.00. Twisted Stout features a salty smoke, dry roasted nuts, toasted marshmallow and vanilla ice cream taste, with a wood smoke and spices, malty toasted biscuits and zingy citrus finish.
