What's in the bottle is an Islay single malt finished in emptied tequila casks. The result is a bright, tawny orange hue and brisk, smoky aroma that unfurls from the glass alongside hints of tire rubber and maple. Peat smoke rules each sip, eventually dissipating to show a peek of toffee and burnt orange-peel beneath, winding into a peppery finish and a final smoky exhale. A fun, colorfully packaged bottle to introduce an agave aficionado to the world of single malt Scotch.

Amber color. Aromas and flavors of smoldering green herbs, Lapsang Souchong tea, anise, and roasted black garlic with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, subtle, medium-length finish with elements of vanilla and hazelnut, dark chocolate roasted malt, pecan, mace, pepper, and and spices. A smoky Scotch with a green and herbal tone; kind of like an extra Añejo Mezcal.
Terminado brings together Smokehead Islay single malt with tequila. It’s the meeting of two restless spirits – and the awakening of a mesmerising whisky.
There, in this tequila cask finish, fiery peat awakes with wild agave. Smoke mixes with chewy meringue. And citrus spins with sweetness. You ain’t tasted nothing like this before.
