Smokehead Islay Single Malt Whisky has launched what is says is the first-ever pre-mixed single malt in a can with two new serves – Smokehead mixed with Cola and Smokehead mixed with Ginger + Lime.
The brand-new Smokehead ready-to-drinks launch to save people from the usual pre-mixed cocktails and offer an experimental smoky alternative to shake-up socialising, according to information from the company. Smokehead mixed with Cola is exactly as the name suggests, mixing together Smokehead Islay Single Malt Whisky with the bubbly taste of Cola.
Smokehead mixed with Ginger Ale + Lime, meanwhile, “blends smoky, sweet Smokehead with aromatic ginger ale, finished with a twist of lime.”
Quick whisky question
Single malt is everywhere, but what does it mean? We want to know what the word “single” means to you. Three quick questions, under a minute.
Both 330ml cans (6% ABV) are available for a retail price of £2.50 in the United Kingdom currently. For those unfamiliar with Smokehead, below is official information on each of their core releases.
- Rum Rebel – The rich, smoky, salty Islay whisky rebel is finished in spicy, sweet Caribbean rum casks creating culture colliding carnage and a melding of mouth-watering tastes.
- Smokehead – Smokehead Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the original expression, an intensely rich yet subtly sweet dram. With immense smoke and notes of sea salt and spice, this is a vigorous whisky that stands out from the crowd.
- High Voltage – If Smokehead is an assault on your senses, then High Voltage is an all-out attack. The breath-taking intensity of the peat and smoke is a red light for the faint of heart.
- Sherry Bomb – A peaty Islay single malt that has well and truly earned its name. Blasted by rich, sweet and spicy Spanish sherry casks, it has emerged as a fiery, explosive, heavy hitting dram that has even turned our skull red.
