The Scarabus 10yo HL Islay Single Malt is a remarkable 46% ABV whisky, bottled by Hunter Laing from an undisclosed distillery on Islay. Named after a mystical area on the island, this whisky is matured in a harmonious blend of refill, ex-bourbon, and virgin American oak casks. Upon nosing, you'll be greeted with enticing aromas of chamois leather, honeycomb, and smoked baking spices. The palate reveals complex notes of bonfire, jasmine, and croissant, culminating in a full-bodied, warming finish characterized by its peaty nature, which is typical of an Islay distillery.
This particular expression is part of the distinguished Scarabus range from Hunter Laing and was first introduced during Feis Ile 2019. The whisky's maturation in virgin oak and ex-bourbon casks imparts a smoky, toasty, and vanilla-forward character. Additional aromatic notes include buttery pastry, sea air, and floral hints, while the palate is enriched with flavors of vanilla pods, dried spice heat, and brown sugar.
Hunter Laing's dedication to exceptional whisky is further evidenced by their opening of the Ardnahoe distillery on the East Islay coast during Feis Ile 2019. The Scarabus 10-year-old Islay Single Malt stands as a testament to their commitment to producing high-quality whiskies from undisclosed distilleries.
