Scallywag Winter Edition Cask Strength Blended Malt / 52.6%/ 0.7l
- In the new millennium Douglas Laing & Co. introduced more than few blended malt expressions. Scallywag was added to the Remarkable Regional Malts Collection in the fall of 2013.
Product description
Scallywag blended malt debuted in 2013 in Douglas Laing & Co.’s Remarkable Regional Malts series.
It is a blend of single malts from Speyside distilleries, including Macallan, Mortlach and Glenrothes. While the original formula was based on distillates aged in sherry and bourbon casks, the “Winter Edition” presented here is a blend of “Speysiders” from sherry casks only (both Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez). The whisky went on sale in late autumn 2020, offered in a cask strength version (52.6% abv) in bottles decorated with a Christmas scarf. The edition consisted of 3,000 bottles.
Nose: rich, Christmas gingerbread, dark chocolate, raisins, sultanas, dried apricots, caramel, vanilla, notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Palate : sherry, honey, crème brûlée, cocoa powder, raisins, multiberry jam, roasted almonds, cinnamon, cloves and toasted oak.
Finish : medium long, with notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, dried fruit and oak.
