Special Features:

Batch No. 2 of the limited Scarabus Sherry Batch Strength Edition brings together bold Islay peat smoke and the influence of first-fill sherry casks. Part of the whisky matured entirely in first-fill Oloroso casks. It was bottled at 57%, and the edition was created for the German market.

Dark berries and chocolate sweetness complement the peat smoke, while sea salt adds a coastal accent. The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: The nose brings Islay peat smoke, dark berries and sea salt, accompanied by notes of warm leather.
  • Palate: On the palate, raisins and dried plums meet dark chocolate sweetness and notes of warm leather. A peaty, oily texture adds weight.
  • Finish: The long, fruity finish lingers with delicate peat smoke, pepper, cinnamon and a hint of vanilla.

Distillery/Bottler:

Hunter Laing & Co. Ltd. is the independent bottler behind the Scarabus brand. Based in Glasgow, the company traces its roots to Frederick Laing's whisky business, which his son Stewart later developed further. The distillery behind Scarabus is not disclosed.

Scarabus takes its name from a place on Islay. Hunter Laing deliberately keeps the whisky's precise origin undisclosed and selects casks for the range. The company worked with Hanseatische Weinhandelsgesellschaft on the Sherry Editions.
