High Voltage

Smokehead High Voltage is known for its intense and bold aromas. The nose is dominated by powerful peat smoke, maritime air, and a prickle of hot spirit. Additional notes include salted caramel, earthy peat, porridge oats, clean vanilla, and toffee. Some tasters have noted hints of dried fruits, leather, and tar​.

On the palate, Smokehead High Voltage offers a full-on assault of flavors. The initial surge is characterized by a hot spirit burn and thick, oily smoke. As it softens, the whisky reveals creamier textures with nutty, briny, and citrus notes. There are also flavors of salted caramel, juicy malt, and a mix of spices and dried fruits​.

The finish of Smokehead High Voltage is long, drying, and smoky. It leaves a lasting impression with fading peat, spices, and malt. The mouthfeel is almost numb and tingling, with a lingering sweetness that mixes with the slowly fading smoke and a salty tang​.
