Douglas Laing
Scotland
Big Peat's gone and got himself a trusty sidekick in the shape of a dapper Fox Terrier wearing a monocle! Scallywag from Douglas Laing is a vatted malt made from Speyside whiskies, including Mortlach, Macallan and Glenrothes. Many of the whiskies used in the small batch release come from Spanish sherry butts, giving Scallywag a fab sweetness that's balanced by some "mischievous" bourbon cask whisky also in the blend.
Sweetness jumps up like an excited puppy. Icing sugar, sultanas and candied ginger. A few hints of grain here and there, but sweetness steals the show.
The sweetness surprisingly retreats, revealing nutmeg and cereal. Vanilla comes in near the end. Cinnamon too, giving it a prickle of spice.
A pinch of oak spice joins the vanilla and sherry for the finish.
Incredibly pleasant, the Scallywag is an absolute treat in every sense.
The poor quality cork broke in two upon first opening which rather spoilt the experience. Whiskey? Fine. Have to say bought more for the label (have two schnauzers) not a bad whiskey but won’t rebuy.
We had my wife's sister and partner visiting and it was this out of my selection that got clobbered. It meant that my Secret Distillery survived
The vapours alone could get you tipsy ! Monster tastes , very strong I needed a touch of water , you won't buy a better sub £80 whisky , that good I ordered 3 more
Well worth buying a bottle - crack it open and you will enjoy this sweet, spiced, warming, Sherry matured whisky for sure. Highly recommended.
I’m really impressed by this dram. I can’t fault it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of depth and flavor and quality
