The Douglas Laing Scallywag Winter Edition 2022 is a limited, high-proof Speyside whisky composition that is perfect for the cold season. Inspired by the playful and mischievous fox terriers of the Douglas Laing family, this whisky not only bears the name "Scallywag" (little rascal), but also embodies its cheeky, lively yet sweet nature.
This blended malt Scotch whisky is a harmonious blend of Speyside single malts carefully matured in Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This particular cask selection creates an intensely fruity and spicy profile with deep chocolate and dried fruit flavors, perfectly balanced for the colder months.
With a natural cask strength of 54% vol. the Winter Edition 2022 offers a powerful, warming intensity that still remains smooth and balanced. It is bottled without coloring or chill-filtration to present the whisky in its purest form. There are only 5,400 bottles worldwide, making this edition a coveted rarity for whisky lovers.
