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.
