Jura 10 Year

Very fruity. Sweetness hides the smoke, which only comes through late on and is fairly light. Fruitier than I would normally go for, but that's no bad thing in this case as it wears it well.

Gentle by highland standards Uncomplicated, no peat. Fairly nondescript bourbon cask finish.

Initial toffee makes way for a punchy short finish. Definitely one I want to try again.

Uncomplicated, smooth, hints of toffee. More for a session than for savouring. The cheapest Glenlivet and it shows. Not a patch on the 12 year old.

Light and sweet Speyside, an easy drinker. Widely available and often reasonably priced, making it a good introduction to Speysides for the uninitiated.

Middle of the road NAS spey. Sweeter than most, plenty of toffee. Very slight hint of peatiness in the finish. Fair value when its on special offer in the supermarket, but for me more of a session whisky than one to savour.

Smokehead Sherry Bomb

Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

Reviewed January 25, 2019

Not as smoky as Smokehead's reputation would suggest. More peat than phenol. A fair degree of sweetness from the sherry cask. Probably quite a young spirit. A good balance, not just pure peatiness. An interesting addition to the smokehead range.

Peat obvious on the nose. It's a sherry cask, but you'd be hard pressed to tell from the flavour. A fairly ordinary moderately peaty Islay.

Sweet nose. Initial sweetness from the Pedro Ximenez second cask makes way for notes from the original bourbon cask. A sherry finish done well.
