Scarabus, an Islay Single Malt for those with a curious mind and an eye for detail.  A whisky bold and honest about its origins and just a little mysterious about everything else.

Aged for a minimum of 10 years in a refill, ex-bourbon and virgin American oak cask. Bottled at the perfect drinking strength of 46%.

Tasting Notes:

A distinguished Scarabus profile; sweet Islay peat smoke with added complexity.

Nose: Softly smoky, with hints of new leather and toasted brioche developing along the way.

Palate:   Golden syrup, vanilla, and a slow rumble of peaty smoke and crushed peppercorns.

Finish: Sweet peat and some floral freshness.

Land: Scotland, Islay

Distillery: Hunter Laing

Alcohol by volume: 46%

Zaka Rum Trinidad 7 years old is a tribute to the people of the land. These cane and rum makers operate under the benevolence of Zaka, the voodoo god of the peasantry.
This molasses rum is a blend of column distillates aged between 7 and 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels.

Tasting Notes : 

Appearance : Amber

Nose: The lightnose of this rum skims the surface of a well-dried and well-roasted oak barrel, from which some vanilla wisps still escape. These aromas call for other sweet, gourmet notes, such as caramel and spiced molasses.

Palate: the palate is divided between a vanilla sweetness and slightly more pungent spices. The pepper manages to make a place for itself in a rather round atmosphere. It occupies the middle of the mouth with other spices that swarm and agitate on the tongue.

Finish: The finish offers a snapshot of soft oak, then the rum quietly fades.

Land: Trinidad

Distillery : Zaka

Alcohol by volume : 42%

In the flat areas of Calabria, commonly called 'piane', grow the prized Clementine fruits born from a cross between bitter orange and mandarin, which for this reason are locally called 'Mandarance'. The Caffo distillery is located just a few kilometres from the Gioia Tauro plain (near the ancient Magna-Greek city of Medma), where the best fruits used for this liqueur come from.
