It comprises Islay whisky from Caol Ila (64%) and Laphroaig (35%), alongside a small portion of malt from the Highlands. Don’t let the monster on the label fool you, this dram has only a moderate level of peat but carries with it a pitch-perfect balance. You can expect notes of brackish water, charred orchard fruit, bonfire smoke and touches of tropical fruit and soft florals on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cnav class=\"product-navigation\"\u003e\u003c\/nav\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cnav class=\"product-navigation\"\u003e\u003c\/nav\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Oak Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45065254895793,"sku":"CMP38","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/7037\/6625\/files\/DelaireBankhoek2017-2025-03-31T190844.891.png?v=1743440942"},{"product_id":"smokehead-extra-black-18-year-old-copy","title":"Smokehead Original","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you’re of the opinion that Scotch is a tipple for the refined and genteel, then you haven’t been introduced to Smokehead. The heavy metal-themed brand, which encourages its drinkers to “smoke tradition,” is produced by Ian Macleod Distillers, makers of more polite single malts like Glengoyne, Tamdhu and Rosebank. But unlike those dignified brands with their age-statements and well-disclosed sources, Smokehead’s origins are something of a mystery clouded in, well, smoke. \u003cspan\u003eSmokehead came along in 2006, at a time the industry was looking to capitalise on renewed interest in the spirits category. Though its origins remain shrouded in mystery, the liquid is rumoured to come from a certain southern-Islay distillery that stands approximately 3 miles from Port Ellen on the Kildalton coast. Whilst this spirit rarely appears in anything other than official distillery bottlings, Ian MacLeod’s history as a whisky broker could mean they have long-term deals in place that would facilitate just such a thing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oak Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45134626717873,"sku":"SMK02","price":699.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/7037\/6625\/files\/1200x1200px-OAKROOM_10_d3568210-5151-42b3-9805-07150e52de33.png?v=1752832604"},{"product_id":"smokehead-extra-rare-1000ml-copy","title":"Smokehead High Voltage","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmokehead High Voltage is a release that puts smoke and high proof first.

It’s located on the Kildaton coast between other legendary Islay distilleries, Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Legal distilling was started here in 1816 by John Johnston and a second distillery on the same site was bought by his family in 1825. By 1837, production was absorbed into Lagavulin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe character of Lagavulin whisky is attributed to its peaty water supply, the heavily peated barley, long fermentation times, and slow distillation. The peated barley comes from Port Ellen maltings and the water is sourced from Lochan Sholum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation occurs in 10 wooden washbacks, each 21,000 litres in capacity, and lasts 55-75 hours. This produces a 6-8% ABV ‘wash’, a beer-like drink that is then distilled. Lagavulin uses the double distillation method in four squat pear-shaped pot stills and its distillation is the slowest on Islay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLagavulin 16 Year Old is aged mostly in American white oak bourbon casks, with a portion matured in European oak sherry casks. The warehouses are all exposed to the sea, but the extent to which that sea air impacts the coastal, iodine character found in Islay single malts, or indeed any whisky that matures by the sea, is the subject of some debate within whisky circles. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oak Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46348962431153,"sku":"LGV11","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/7037\/6625\/files\/Untitled_1200x1200mm_14.png?v=1762342417"},{"product_id":"laphroaig-oak-select-copy","title":"Glengoyne White Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eA first for Glengoyne, this brand new expression is matured exclusively in First Fill Bourbon and Virgin Oak Casks sourced from North America.
