Islay Single Malt Whiskey Scarabus 10 YO - Hunter Laing

 A higher-quality variant of the classic Scarabus, this single malt is produced by a mysterious and legendary distillery on the island of Islay. Like the previous release, the packaging and label are inspired by John Francis Campbell, a scholar specializing in Celtic studies, his nickname being “Young John of Islay.” Scarabus 10 Years Old is a peated single malt Scotch whisky aged for at least 10 years in a mix of ex-bourbon, refill, and virgin oak casks before being bottled at a classic 46% ABV without chill-filtering and in its natural color.
