Scarabus Cigar Malt: Islay Peat Meets Oloroso, PX and Ruby Port

Scarabus Cigar Malt Debuts from Hanseatische Weinhandelsgesellschaft

Scarabus Cigar Malt Hanseatische Weinhandelsgesellschaft introduces a compelling Islay Single Malt crafted for aficionados of peated whisky and fine cigars alike. This Limited Edition expression stands out due to its maturation in a sophisticated mix of Oloroso, PX Sherry, and Ruby Port casks, bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration and natural color retention.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The whisky’s maturation in Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, and Ruby Port casks develops a robust peat character fused with complex fruity and roasted layers. This interplay yields a vibrant fruitiness and elegant spiciness that complement Islay’s signature smoky profile. The finish is long-lasting and warming, enriched by a gently rounded sweetness derived from the chosen casks.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Candied orange peel, stewed red berries, and almonds shaped by rich cask maturation
• Palate: Earthy peat waves intertwine with treacle, dark fruit, and gentle char
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering, rounded sweetness
