Smokehead Rulebook
Raise a glass to those who make their own way.
Just stick to what you know" is what photographer Martina Martian was advised when she was a successful illustrator and wanted to try something different. Travelling the world for a year, she picked up a camera and now shoots for some of the biggest brands and magazines worldwide.
Steven Bartlett wanted to leave university to start his own business but was told, "Quitting is for losers." At the age of 18, he did it anyway, and at 21, he started The Social Chain from his bedroom in Manchester.
Each page of the Smokehead Rulebook is filled with "play-it-safe" advice given to our inspiring, immensely talented partners at the beginning of their careers, but they chose to listen to their gut instinct and do their own thing, their way - just like Smokehead.
Smokehead has ripped up the rule book since day one. So, take our handmade Smokehead rulebook and tear out a page of the best-ignored advice you've read. Crumple it up and set it alight on an accompanying coaster. Next, turn your glass over the slow-burning paper. Once the smoking has stopped, add ice and Smokehead and maybe a mixer of your choice, it’s up to you, and raise your glass to those who blaze their own trail.

Dram & Smoke – The Smokehead Feasts
The Smokehead Feasts. Three nights. Three cities. 217 guests. 153 bottles of Smokehead. Quite a few octopuses. And one hell of a collaboration.
We teamed up with Dram & Smoke - Scottish produce lovers and creators of intense pop up dining experiences – to serve provocative Smokehead cocktails and big, bold, smoky dishes to complement them. This mind-blowing combination challenged taste buds and changed perceptions of what to expect from an Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky.

Tyler Lunceford – The Smoker
This right here is history in the making. We’ve hitched a ride with Tyler Lunceford as he builds us ‘The Smoker’ – a one of a kind, customised Ducati inspired by vintage racing motorcycles.
Tyler was born and raised in the States. Christened as ‘The Ducati whisperer of the tri-state area’ by press in New York, he’s built bikes for obsessive bikers, rock stars and now us. Soon the whisky world will know what happens when a single malt hits the open road in pursuit of unrestricted flavour.
Keep an eye on our Refinery to follow Tyler’s journey creating the most out there bike he’s ever built.
