It’s made by Ian Macleod distillers from an unspecified distillery on Islay
However, those in the know reckon Smokehead Islay single malt whisky is young Caol Ila finished in Ardbeg casks.
All I know is it’s really nice ?

It's bottled by Ian MacLeod from casks bought from other distilleries. The general consensus amongst those who think they know is that it is an Ardbeg, possibly matured in Caol Ila casks or blended with Caol Ila. I have a little experience in the matter 
and I would say there is definitely a healthy dose of South coast Islay in it which means Lagavulin, Laphroaig or Ardbeg.

I went occasionally when living and working in London.
I believe a friend of mine was a member and took me there once; the bottles are numbered rather than named if I've got the right place, tartan armchairs, old brick building; is that the one?

He can't help it If he comes from Philistine !

Smokehead looks like a bargain at £25.
