Scarabus Single Malt

Light…lightest Islay I’ve tasted. Notes of pumpkin, light smoke, vanilla up front, smooth for the ABV, spices in the finish…almost tequila-like on the ending

Really nice young peaty islay, lacks the depth of older ones but has a good sweetness and perfectly good at its price point

The nose is huge, campfires, peat, burning railway ties, all of it. The palate is a bold rush of flavors, all that you expect from Islay, peat, smoke, some brine, some oiliness, and a hint of chocolate. And then it all disappears at the end, the finish is short, warm, spicy, with just a hint of lingering peat and saltwater brine.

Nose: smoke, leather, floral/herbs, cotton candy Taste: light, peat, ground, wet forest. Finish: long lasting smoke with hints of honey.

Nose - briney smoke, but smells like burning wood with no noticeable phenols, some jammy sweetness Palette - medium body, smokey first and wood ash, some richness and mild fruit sweetness, nicely balanced Finish - smoked fruit and mild burn
