Scallywag The Winter Edition - Orange Wine Cask Finish

Scallywag is the Speyside blended malt in Douglas Laing’s family of ‘Remarkable Regional Malts’, made up of whiskies from the likes of Mortlach, Macallan and Glenrothes among others. Usually matured predominantly in sherry casks, this limited edition offers something a little different. Finished in rare Spanish orange wine casks, whose “vibrant, zesty allure” may not immediately conjure winter scenes, Douglas Laing would like you to picture “a snowy mountainside retreat” and “après-ski relaxation”. It’s also bottled at natural cask strength!

As we always say, Douglas Laing has long been one of our favourite independent bottlers. Established in 1948, the family owned company is now onto its third generation with director of whisky Cara Laing taking the reins. The dog that features on every Scallywag bottle is inspired by a long line of family fox terriers too!
