The Hunter Laing SCARABUS 30 Years Old Islay Single Malt is an exceptionally matured bottling from Hunter Laing and is one of the rarest in the Scarabus range. At 30 years old, this Islay single malt embodies depth, maturity and the serene elegance of long-term cask maturation. Bottled at 43.6% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, this edition embodies Hunter Laing’s philosophy of presenting whiskies with strong character, achieved through minimal intervention and a maximum focus on the cask and distillate.

The Scarabus brand is renowned for its mysterious Islay character, deliberately omitting any mention of the distillery. Instead, the focus is on the island’s unmistakable style, characterised by maritime influences, smoke and maturity. Three decades of maturation have given this single malt a distinctive balance, in which structure, cask influence and the character of the distillate intertwine harmoniously. This bottling is aimed at experienced Islay enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate aged whiskies with depth, history and a clear provenance.
