BEWARE OF BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY I had tried this at the good food and wine show sydney, reached out in Septmeber 2025 to ask for an ingredient… Read more

list due to allergies I have that are not well recognised (as I have to do with almost all things I eat or drink with no issue from companies). They do not have a website, so had to use their instagram. They deleted comments I left on their posts to try and get their attention to respond to my messages.

I did not receive a response until FEBRUARY 2026 which I have attached. Not one single message from them answers my question nor gives me any confirmation that this is a safe product for me. Their last message simply a screenshot of yes and no to common allergens (none of which I had asked about, like they never even read my messages).

I then went and emailed their distributer they have on the label to ask THEIR customer service team, which I did not receive a response back until I sent a second enquiry a few months later. This person said they are unable to tell me as it is a secret recipe basically (which I understand yet I had provided a full breakdown of the thing I was allergic to and the derivatives). I was simply after a yes or no as the person on their instagram said it had "added sugar" which is a red flag for me as my allergen is commonly found in sugars. After much back and forth with this man and trying to explain multiple times what I am after, and being dismissed I finally got an answer which low and behold I was indeed allergic to the sugar ingredient that is added.

I have NEVER had such a horrible experience trying to ask if a product is safe for me to consume, and if this is how they treat their customers then I hope they never get any business again and I will be looking into reporting them for non compliance with assisting in my allergen query and not taking allergies seriously. If you do not understand allergies and the ingredients you are using, you should not be in business in this industry. This is so beyond dangerous.

Not the worst but not the greatest. If your looking for a whiskey for your first try I wouldn’t recommend this one

I have discovered a new scotch whisky – By far the smoothest scotch whisky I have ever drunk a very delicate yet potent 40% alcohol drink worthy of the nightcap drink status move over Johnny Walker this drink has won me over Show details

Smokehead islay single malt scotch whisky; don't buy! – I bought this product and found it tasted absolutely feral compared to many and all others in this area on your display for sale. I am a keen new… Read more

comer for perfection and I have bought 14 triple sample boxes of the coastal collection you have recently reduced in price for sale in three of your major stores throughout Brisbane. I have bought many other competitor brands arround them also recently. I believe the SmokeHead whiskey is not made from barley at all. I believe it is a cheap con of flavouring sugar made distilled alcohol.

This is moonshine, not whisky, and does not deserve the prefix, scotch.

Whiskey mixer – Over rated and over priced. Good mixer with coke or Pepsi. Rough on it’s own. Show details

Avoid it and try something else – I have tried different type of spirit including RUM and Vodka. I thought this Whisky should be better (the price per Litre is higher) but it's not… Read more

the case. Whenever I drank I got an headache and hangover. If you think Johnnie Walker is a trustful brand, think again. It's RED grade and it's simply Rubbish. Avoid it, instead try Absolut, I love the smell and taste of the purity of the Vodka.
