Scarabus Sherry Cask Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Colour

Deep, natural amber with mahogany depth and coppery highlights, a sun-warmed chestnut glow that shines through the glass.

Nose

Powerful peat and maritime smoke envelop dark fruit and rich sherry, with prune and fig sweetness rising from treacle and cocoa. Hints of almond, vanilla and cedar oak weave through spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—while a sultry brine lingers, framing the Islay’s coastal, time-worn character.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, with a chorus of peat smoke tempered by rich sherry sweetness. Raisins, dried fig and sticky toffee mingle with orange zest and toasted almond notes, all wrapped in velvety cocoa and a warming spice. Maritime hints and a whispered smokiness persist, finishing long with bittersweet oak and subtle salt.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of peat smoke woven with sherry sweetness—raisin, fig and dark chocolate, lifted by orange zest. The warmth lingers, tapering to toasted oak and a final whisper of spice.
