Hunter Laing & Co.

Founded by Stewart Laing and very much a family-run business, Hunter Laing & Co. are based in Glasgow where they create their famous 'Old Malt Cask' single cask, single malt whisky range. In 2018 the Laing's broke ground on their much-anticipated Ardnahoe distillery on the northern shores of Islay, with spirit now flowing.

The nose is immediately fruity and herbal, with stewed prunes, black tea, and caramel. The palate brings forward the spice, like nutmeg, ginger, and cocoa powder. The finish is very long, with all the complexity one hopes for in a dram matured for a quarter of a century.

Scarabus is a new single malt whisky selected by Hunter Laing & Co. who marked the opening of their new Ardnahoe distillery on Islay. While the origin of this whisky is a mystery, it is a big dram, offering an aroma of sweet syrupy pears, white raisins, freshly roasting peanuts and plumes of peaty smoke. A briny sea-salt and leathery note adds depth, again nutty then spiced with mace and vanilla on a very oily and viscous mouthfeel. A fantastic new arrival and a must try for fans of Islay's oily, coastal peat smoke.

Craigellachie 'Old Malt Cask' 2006 / 14 years old 50%

Region Speyside

Strength 50%

Volume 700ml

Opened in the late 20th century with the intention of producing what was then a new unpeated style. Before maturation Craigellachie is sulphury much like Mortlach, Glenrothes or Benrinnes, with maturation the sulphur vanishes replaced with complex savoury notes. This heavy style makes Craigellachie perfect for maturation in powerful casks such as the Ex-Sherry butt which matured this. On the nose find dark chocolate, raisins, vanilla, and a touch of roasted coffee. The palate is characteristically full bodied, spicy, and with a definate savoury note, the finish is long and powerful.
