SMOKEHEAD TWISTED STOUT
Smokehead’s latest fearless expression, Twisted Stout is the rebellious love child of innovative single malt whisky and beer. Finished in stout casks, the fiercely full-on, smoky single malt delivers an unexpected and unusual taste with silky-sweet smoothness and is available worldwide while stocks last.
Contrasting, delicious and daring to be bold, this new expression is deeply indulgent, holding its own in any cocktail concoction or sipped on the rocks. Unlocking new flavours with old favourites, the usual fiery intensity and peat of Islay malt whisky fiercely combine with sweet, smooth chocolate aromas. If whisky is the water of life, then Twisted Stout is a weirder, wonderful, more audacious way of living.
Twisted Stout (70cl/700ml) 43% ABV is available from Smokehead.com as well as via specialist global retailers at RRP £57.50
