Hunter Laing & Co Scarabus Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Scarabus is a boldly expressive Islay single malt from independent bottler Hunter Laing & Co, named after a region steeped in the island’s ancient Norse history. Crafted to showcase classic Islay character, it delivers a compelling balance of smoke, sweetness, and maritime influence.

On the nose, rich peat smoke is layered with notes of citrus zest, vanilla, and coastal brine. The palate is full and warming, revealing smoky malt, honeyed sweetness, charred oak, and gentle spice, all underpinned by a distinctly salty, seaside freshness. The finish is long and lingering, with soft ash, sweet smoke, and hints of vanilla.

A quintessential Islay whisky that offers depth and authenticity, Scarabus is ideal for peat lovers seeking a well-rounded, flavour-forward single malt at exceptional value.
