Scarabus, named after a mystical area on the Isle of Islay, translates to "a rocky place" in Old Norse. It dates back to the 13th century. They bottle each expression without colouring or chill-filtration.
Hunter Laing is a family-owned independent bottler of Scotch whisky, based in Glasgow. Founded in 2013 by Stewart Laing and his sons, Andrew and Scott, the company specialises in selecting and bottling rare and high-quality single malt and blended Scotch whiskies. The company also owns and operates Islay's newest distillery, Ardnahoe, who's inaugural release came in 2024.
This edition of Scarabus is bottled at Batch Strength, crafted by hand-selecting a small number of exceptional Scarabus casks, each chosen to be bottled at 57% ABV.
Official Tasting Notes
The signature sweet, peaty Scarabus profile, with extra intensity, mouth feel, and an even more lingering finish.
Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
