Douglas Laing’s Scallywag Small Batch Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Scotch Whisky | 46% ABV

Commercial Description:

Scallywag Small Batch Scotch Whisky is a premium blend from Douglas Laing, a family-owned independent bottler with a long history of producing high-quality spirits. This particular expression is a 70cl bottle, perfect for sharing with friends or savoring on your own.

The Scallywag blend is made from a combination of Speyside malts, including Mortlach, Macallan and Glenrothes. Each malt is carefully selected and matured in the finest sherry casks, giving the whisky its rich, complex flavor profile.

On the nose, Scallywag offers a tantalizing aroma of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and spice. Notes of raisins, figs and dates are complemented by a subtle hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. The aroma is rich and inviting, making it hard to resist taking a sip.

The taste of Scallywag is smooth and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory notes. The initial flavors are dominated by dark chocolate and dried fruits, followed by a hint of spice and a subtle smokiness. The finish is long and warming, with a delicate sweetness that lingers on the tongue.

Scallywag is bottled at cask strength, meaning it has not been diluted with water before bottling. This gives the whisky a higher alcohol content of 46% ABV, making it a strong, full-flavored spirit that is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to open up the flavors. This is a perfect choice for a special occasion or for sharing with friends and family.
