Scarabus Islay Single Malt Whisky

Scarabus Islay Single Malt Whisky is a compelling expression from an undisclosed Islay distillery, independently bottled by Hunter Laing. This Batch Strength release is bottled at a powerful 57% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with no added color, ensuring maximum intensity and authenticity of the spirit. Known for its deeply peated character, Scarabus presents a complex nose of liquorice, vanilla, burnt toffee, and smoldering bonfires. The palate is surprisingly refreshing and clean, with maritime notes of sea salt and ash, complemented by eucalyptus and sweet toffee. The finish is long, powerful, and lingers with salty influences, perfectly showcasing the rugged, smoky heritage of Islay. This is a must-try for peat enthusiasts seeking a bold, uncut flavor profile.
