Product description
Douglas Laing & Co. is one of the leaders in the blended malt category in the new century.
Scallywag is a proposal from the company from autumn 2013. It is a blend of single malts from the distilleries of the Speyside region, and they are led by Macallan, Mortlach and Glenrothes. While the original formula was based on distillates aged in sherry and bourbon casks, the "Winter Editions" are a blend of "Speysiders" from sherry casks only (both Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez). The presented Winter Edition 2021 went on sale in autumn and contains whisky bottled in cask strength (53.1% abv) and of course with natural color and without chill filtration. The edition consisted of 4,200 bottles.
Nose: chocolate cake, dried plums, figs and apricots, candied orange peel, freshly ground coffee, nutmeg, candied ginger and oak.
Palate : chocolate-coated raisins, dried plums and cherries, caramel, honey, vanilla, black pepper, cinnamon, a pinch of ginger and oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of chocolate, mulled wine spice, dried dark fruit, sherry and oak.
