For those rebellious enough to enjoy classic whisky in a unique way, Smokehead’s Islay Single Malt Whisky has been re-imagined with the introduction of Tequila Cask Terminado. Following in the footsteps of Rum Cask Rebel, Sherry Cask Blast, and Twisted Stout, Tequila Cask Terminado is crafted by maturing Smokehead in ex-Bourbon barrels and finishing in Mexican Tequila oak casks. This Islay Single Malt Whisky is sure to excite whisky enthusiasts and provide a winning answer for how to bring innovation to an old classic.

Tequila Cask Terminado is a whisky made to be enjoyed with friends and family. Its heavy peat and smoke notes make it the perfect whisky for a wild and unique adventure of flavors, including chewy meringue, fresh blood orange, BBQ’d pineapples, smooth toffee, vibrant lime, and ambrosian peaches. The best way to enjoy it is straight, on the rocks, or in a ‘Palominado’ cocktail. However, Smokehead encourages exploration and experimentation with their whisky, so don’t be afraid to try something new.
Iain Weir, Brand Director of Smokehead, stated: “Smokehead is a brand that constantly pushes the boundaries of what classic whisky is and how it’s perceived. By embracing contemporary methods of finishing, we’re able to be at the forefront of innovation both as a brand and within the industry at large for the benefit of our valued customers. Tequila Cask Terminado is more than a passion project for us, it’s an embodiment of everything Smokhead represents; rule-breaking, ‘pouring less boring’ and defiance. We’re so proud to launch Tequila Terminado into the Smokehead family to represent uniqueness.”
Tequila Terminado (70ml) is available in the UK exclusively through Amazon and Smokehead.com.
