Rum Riot IM

About

Smokehead Rum Riot is a powerful Islay Single Malt that combines the island's signature smoky character with an unexpected twist from rum cask finishing. Matured in bourbon barrels before a secondary finish in rum casks, this whisky balances intense peat and maritime notes with tropical fruit and exotic spice. The nose reveals honey and salty seaweed alongside medicinal smoke, while the palate develops into a complex interplay of caramel sweetness, peppery spice, and burnt peat. A compelling dram that demonstrates how thoughtful cask finishing can add layers of sophistication to a classic Islay expression.
