Scallywag Whisky

A cheeky dog with a glint in its eye adorns the label of this Speyside blend, which doesn't take itself too seriously. Behind the playful facade, though, hides a serious, sherry-toned whisky that has earned respect far beyond the label's humorous world.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972484

    Winter falls fast in Speyside, and the little fox terrier with the oversized moustache returns to keep the cold at bay with sherry and spice.

    Expert's Description

    Scallywag Douglas Laing The Winter Edition is a Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and Oloroso casks, and bottled at cask strength of 52.6%.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dark cocoa and plump raisins meet a whisper of tobacco, while warming winter spices like clove and cinnamon simmer underneath.

    Palate

    Full and round with sherry sweetness, dark chocolate and a touch of orange peel, carried by the high strength without turning sharp.

    Finish

    Long and warming, closing on spiced oak, dried fruit and a final bitter note of coffee grounds.

    Expert's Description

    Scallywag The Winter Edition 2024 Orange Wine Cask is a Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing, finished in casks that previously held orange wine, bottled at 53.9%.

    Where earlier Winter Editions relied on pure sherry, the 2024 edition breaks the pattern with the wine-like, citrus-tinged character of orange wine casks laid over the classic Speyside sweetness.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Orange peel, honey and malt meet light floral tones and a wine-like freshness from the orange wine.

    Palate

    Full-bodied with sweet orange, vanilla, caramel and a hint of ginger and cinnamon.

    Finish

    Long, warm and lightly spiced with citrus oil and an elegant dryness from the wine casks.
