Description

Douglas Laing's Scallywag Small Batch Release is a Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky crafted from a marriage of fine Speyside Malts, including Mortlach, Macallan, and Glenrothes. Matured predominantly in Spanish Sherry Butts and vanilla-infused Bourbon Hogsheads, this non-chill-filtered whisky is bottled at 46% ABV. It is part of Douglas Laing's 'Remarkable Regional Malts' range and is known for its rich, dark color derived purely from the sherry cask maturation. Inspired by the Laing family's Fox Terriers, Scallywag is an award-winning expression, celebrated for its sweet, spicy, and fruity character.

Nose
A richly spiced character woven into delicious vanilla, with notes of icing sugar, sultanas, candied ginger, and sweet raisins.
Palate
Layer on layer of sweet stewed fruits, dark chocolate, and caramel, fused with nutmeg, cinnamon, and hints of allspice. Creamy vanilla and a clear malt presence are also detectable.
Finish
A long, warming finish with a burst of zesty orange, sweet tobacco, cocoa, rich fruitcake, and lingering spices.
