Description
The Hunter Laing Scarabus Islay Single Malt Batch Strength is a more intense, even more powerful version of the popular Scarabus Islay Single Malt, bottled at a higher alcohol strength of 57% vol. The name “Scarabus” refers to an area on the island of Islay known as a “rocky place” and reflects the rough, wild character of this whisky. The motifs on the bottle were inspired by John Francis Campbell, a Scottish scholar and author who documented Scotland’s rich history and culture.
Only selected Scarabus Islay single malt casks are used for the Scarabus Batch Strength, which ensure greater intensity and depth. Despite the higher alcohol content, the typical sweet and peaty character of Scarabus is retained, making the whisky both full-bodied and complex. The finish is refined with an additional full-bodied flavour and a longer-lasting aftertaste.
Tasting NoteColour: Dark gold with amber reflections.
Nose: Intense peat smoke with sweet aromas of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit and a fine, smoky oak note.
Flavour: Full-bodied and powerful with pronounced notes of sweet peat, smoke, spices, dried fruit and a light vanilla sweetness.
Finish: Long lasting, warm and complex with a distinctive smoky note and a spicy finish that lingers slowly.
The Scarabus Islay Single Malt Batch Strength is ideal for pure enjoyment to experience its powerful flavour and complexity. It harmonises perfectly with smoked cheese, grilled meat or steak as well as caramelised nuts. Alternatively, it can also be used in a Rob Roy or a whisky sour to bring out the intense, smoky flavours in a cocktail in style.
