Scarabus, a single malt from Hunter Laing, originates from an undisclosed Islay distillery and was launched for Fèis Ìle 2019. The name Scarabus, meaning ‘rocky place’ in Old Norse, is inspired by a mystical area of Islay. This expression carries an air of mystery, from its secretive distillery source to the golden symbols adorning the bottle, making it a visually striking and flavorful Islay whisky.
