Whisky 'Scallywag' Douglas Laing

Douglas Laing & Co. distillery's "Scallywag" Whisky comes from a careful selection of the best pure malt distillates. It is a label that interprets in a very classic and faithful way the typical style of Speyside, the region that occupies the northeastern territory of Scotland. Unspoiled, still wild nature and pure waters have made it one of the most interesting areas for producing great Whiskies for centuries. It is a Whisky that offers a profile with a pleasantly fruity character, with soft and sweet sensations, accompanied by delicately spiced nuances. It is the perfect choice for those who enjoy a rich, enveloping sip with lingering aromatic intensity. The Scallywag Whisky label is dedicated to the Fox Terriers of the Douglas Laing family, chosen as a symbol of the gritty yet sweet and delicate character of typical Speyside whiskies.

"Scallywag" is a Whisky that is the result of a long tradition, jealously preserved within the walls of a small and prestigious family business. Douglas Laing & Co. is an independent distillery, still working with an artisanal spirit, handing down from generation to generation the ancient know-how. Its fame is linked to the production of excellent Single Malts and blends that are particularly elegant and harmonious. Each whisky is stored in a single cask so that its characteristics can be preserved intact without filtering or lowering the alcohol content. The quest for expressive purity guides all the distillery's activities, right from the selection of malts. High-quality raw materials, crystal-clear water from Speyside's springs, and top-notch distillation form the basis of labels that have won the palates of enthusiasts around the world.

Douglas Laing & Co.'s "Scallywag" whiskey, at the end of the distillation process, is transferred for the ageing period to barrels previously used for ageing Bourbon or the great Andalusian fortified wines of Jerez de la Frontera. In the glass, it shows a bright, antique gold colour. The nose expresses a bouquet characterized by intense aromas of ripe fruit, orange peel, cooked fruit, spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, it has a warm and soft entry, with a broad and rich sip that stretches very harmoniously towards a lingering and balanced finish. It is the sweet and delicate face of Speyside.
