Smokestack Lightning 13 Year Old Peated Highland Malt
“Whoa, smokestack lightnin’
Shinin’ just like gold”
A cask-strength juggernaut, billowing smoke and fully loaded with full-bodied flavour.
Max of 3 bottles per person.
£79.00
The Uncharted Whisky love affair with peated and cask strength whisky continues… Refinement meets the feral in this very unusual Highland peated single malt.
WHY THE NAME? - SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING
As you may have noticed, we always name our whiskies after classic records which have stood the test of time. This whisky was named for the bawling blues classic by the utterly unique Howlin’ Wolf. Although to us, his gravelly voice sounded more like a howlin’ bear. This full bodied and gutsy cask strength number bellows charcoal smoke and electrifying flavour.
WHICH DISTILLERY?
Another mystery distillery, heavily peated and from the Highland region, Speyside is often called a “sub-region” of Highland and we can on;y reveal that this billowing smoky libation is a Speysider. Alas, not all distilleries are as a keen on transparency as we are but watch our social media and I’m sure you might be able to work it out… One thing we can be sure of is that this is fantastic whisky well worthy of a place on the Uncharted shelf with or without the distillery name.

Nose
Smoke bellows out of the glass- super sweet and earthy. Smoldering barbecued marshmallow, and new leather follow.
Palate
A coal scuttle, a blast of sweetness mingle with a touch of delicate wine. This fades to an apple crumble warmth layered in with the ubiquitous smoke. Feinty leathers rise toward the finish.
Finish
Long and mellow, the smoke departs and granny’s biscuit tin emerges from the cupboard alongside a touch of citrus.
