Douglas Laing Whisky

Douglas Laing is one of the last true family-run whisky merchants in Scotland, faithful to the philosophy that whisky should be shown pure and unfiltered, exactly as the distillery made it. For over 75 years the family has hunted down casks that genuinely speak of their origin.

Scallywag The Winter Edition 2024 Orange Wine Cask Douglas Laing Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 53,9%

Item no.: 0555-746

Scallywag The Winter Edition 2024 Orange Wine Cask Douglas Laing Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 53.9%

Scallywag The Winter Edition 2024 Orange Wine Cask is a festive and characterful release from Douglas Laing – created to capture the spirit of winter with warmth, fruitiness and a touch of something delightfully unexpected. As always, Scallywag is a Speyside‑based blended malt, but this winter edition stands out thanks to its finishing period in casks that previously held orange wine. This imparts a unique aromatic profile with both spicy and fresh citrus‑driven nuances.

On the nose, you’re met with orange zest, honey, malt and warm winter spices, followed by light floral notes and a vinous freshness from the orange wine casks. The palate is full‑bodied and lively, offering flavours of sweet orange, vanilla, caramel, dried fruit and a hint of ginger and cinnamon. The high strength of 53.9% adds intensity and depth, yet the whisky retains its soft, Speyside‑typical charm. The finish is long, warm and gently spiced, with citrus oil, malt and an elegant dryness from the wine casks.

Scallywag The Winter Edition 2024 is a whisky for those who love seasonal releases with personality – a warm, fruity and festive dram that fits perfectly with winter’s dark evenings and cosy moments.

About Douglas Laing Whisky

Douglas Laing & Co. is one of Scotland's few remaining family-owned whisky merchant firms, known for chasing substance over show. The company bottles everything from rare single cask releases to the beloved regional blended malts in the Remarkable Regional Malts series, and what unites it all is the principle of no chill filtration and no added colour, so the whisky stays true to its origin. For collectors, the Old Particular series with its scarce single-cask releases from rare distilleries is a constant draw, while beginners often find their way in through the more accessible Big Peat or Scallywag.

History & background

The company was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing and is today run by the third generation, Fred Jr. and his daughter Cara Laing (now Leggat). Over more than 75 years the family has built its reputation by sticking to the same core philosophy: delivering the most special, quality-driven Scotch whisky experience, often sourced from small, overlooked parcels of single malt and single grain. The family's third generation has continued the tradition of personally selected casks while expanding the business internationally.

Production & style

Douglas Laing doesn't distil itself but selects and matures casks from distilleries across Scotland, deliberately skipping chill filtration and added colour to preserve the most natural flavour profile. The regional series, Remarkable Regional Malts, deliberately blends whisky from several distilleries within the same region to capture that region's character, while Old Particular sticks to single casks.

Signature style

Unfiltered, Regional, Authentic
From Big Peat's smoky Islay character to Scallywag's soft Speyside sweetness, each series reflects its region's natural expression.
