Scallywag Scotch
Size: 750 ML
Scallywag is a new addition to the Douglas Laing range. A blend of Speyside malts, including Mortlach, Macallan and Glenrothes aged in a combination of sherry and bourbon casks, this is a rich and complex vatting.
NOSE
Sweet and grainy on the nose, with freshly milled malt, porridge made with water, lemon zest, orange peel, redcurrants and a hint of woody spice.
PALATE
Soft and oily, with some spice on the front of the tongue and developing richness – more porridge, tangy lemon sherbert, lemon bonbons, stewed apples with cinnamon, caraway seeds and a hint of sour fruit.
FINISH
Medium-length with apples, apple skin, spice and pastry cases.
COMMENT
Youthful with fruity base – a combination of apples and citrus that provide a good contrast to the malt character at the heart of the whisky.
