Scarabus 10 Year Old

Tasting Notes
This 10-year-old Scotch whisky from the famous Islay island is a treat for smoky dram aficionados. Matured in a clever blend of refill, ex-bourbon, and virgin oak casks, it exudes an enticing aroma of soft smokiness intertwined with notes of new leather and toasted brioche. On the palate, it unveils a delightful symphony of golden syrup sweetness, vanilla richness, and a captivating rumble of peaty smoke complemented by crushed peppercorns. The finish is a delightful interplay of sweet peat and floral freshness, leaving a lingering impression long after the last sip. Crafted by an undisclosed distillery on the legendary Islay, this expression showcases the island's renowned peat-driven character while offering a unique twist with its judicious oak influence, making it a must-try for whisky enthusiasts seeking a flavorful and well-rounded dram.
