Scarabus by Hunter Laing 46%

Scarabus, an Islay Single Malt for those with a curious mind and an eye for detail.  

The brand creates a sense of mystery and discovery through the tagline “only those who seek shall find” and through the intentionally ambiguous symbols incorporated on the label. The look and feel drew inspiration from the work of Islay born John Francis Campbell, who created the sunshine recorder, a device that tallies the hours of sunshine in a day, as well as creating a vast collection of Celtic folklore tales.

Scarabus is known as a mystical area on the Isle of Islay, and the name dates back to 13th century, and translates to “a rocky place” in Old Norse.

Bottled at the perfect drinking strength of 46% and proudly without colouring or chill- filtration.

Tasting Notes: 

  • Islay peat smoke and sea salt on the nose
  • Warming leather notes
  • Stewed rhubarb
  • Vanilla sweetness
  • A rich lingering finish.
