Islay & Highland Duo: Scarabus Single Malt & Double Barrel Blended Malt A fantastic set for peat enthusiasts, featuring two distinct approaches to Islay whisky from Scotland's most famous independent bottling families (Hunter Laing & Douglas Laing). Both bottles are presented at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural colour. 1.

Tasting Notes: Nose: Islay peat smoke and sea salt, followed by subtle notes of leather. Palate: Rich campfire smoke, vanilla sweetness, and a touch of rhubarb and white pepper. Finish: Long, warming, and maritime with lingering ash. Specifications: 70cl | 46.0% ABV | Does not include gift tube. 2. Douglas Laing - Double Barrel (Islay & Highland) A unique "Blended Malt" created by marrying just two single malts from two different regions. It masterfully combines the smoky, medicinal intensity of Islay with the sweet, fruity elegance of the Highlands. Type: Blended Malt (100% Single Malts). Bottling Date: 2017 (Batch Code: L17999).
