Packaging Contents: Single Malt Whisky
Packaging Substrate / Materials: Glass bottle with paper label, Cardboard Tube
Printing Process: Litho Printed, Foil Blocking, Blind Embossing A blended malt whisky, Islay Journey was inspired by the trip from the Scottish mainland to the iconic Isle of Islay. Whisky has been distilled on the island since the early 1300s and the region’s whiskies are characterised by unique peat and smoke aromas. Getting to Islay takes time, but like it’s whisky, is worth the effort. The nautical history of the island and the traditional journey there by sea helped influence the design. A bespoke boat marque combined with bold typography hint at the heritage of the island and traditional hand-painted sign writing on the keel of the boats.

Hunter Laing & Co. Adds New Islay Single Malts To Its Line Up
Independent Scotch whisky bottler Hunter Laing & Co. late last year introduced two new bottlings to its Scarabus Islay Single Malt Whisky range.
Scarabus, meaning ‘rocky place’ in Nordic, is named after what’s described as a “mystical area of Islay.” The two new bottlings that fall under this name, Scarabus 10 Year Old (46% ABV) and Scarabus Batch Strength (57% ABV), are set to join Scarabus Specially Selected, a single malt Scotch whisky.
