The Scallywag Noir Edition from Douglas Laing is a limited and high-proof special bottling that has been matured exclusively in former Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. With a strong alcohol content of 52.8 % vol. and bottled in an elegant 0.7-litre bottle with gift box, this Speyside blended malt Scotch whisky impressively brings out the dark, fruity side of sherry cask maturation.
The whisky consists of a selection of single malts from renowned Speyside distilleries, which together produce a particularly intense, deep aroma profile. The exclusive maturation in PX sherry casks develops a multi-layered character with notes of dark fruit, sweet syrup, chocolate, spices and toasted wood. The Noir Edition is aimed at experienced connoisseurs who appreciate strong, sherry-accented whiskies with structure and depth.
Typical of Douglas Laing, the whisky remains unfiltered and uncolored, which guarantees authenticity and full flavor.
