Douglas Laing Scallywag Speyside Blended Scotch 750 ml

Scallywag is Douglas Laing's Speyside entry in their Remarkable Regional Malts series, a blended malt Scotch whisky meaning it's a vatting of single malts only, with no grain whisky in the mix, all sourced from Speyside distilleries. Bottled at 46% ABV and left non-chill-filtered, it carries the region's usual richness: sherried dried fruit and honey on the nose, ripe stone fruit and light spice on the palate, finishing smooth with a trace of dark chocolate. It's an easy, characterful pour for anyone who wants Speyside's sherry-forward sweetness without hunting down a single distillery's exact bottling.

How to drink Scallywag

A tulip-shaped Glencairn glass concentrates the aroma best. Try it neat or with a few drops of water — 46% and non-chill-filtered means it can take a little dilution without falling apart, and on the rocks works too for a slower sipper through dinner.
