Description

Scallywag 10 Years Old Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 46%) embodies Douglas Laing’s playful genius, a Speyside blended malt fusing premium aged malts from The Glenrothes, Macallan, and Mortlach, matured exclusively in hand-selected first-fill Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks for ten years. Unchillfiltered and naturally coloured, its radiant burnished amber hue exudes opulent richness from cask intimacy. The majestic nose pirouettes with succulent dark raisins, spiced Christmas cake, mocha latte froth, candied Seville orange peel, roasted chestnuts, cinnamon dust, and polished walnut wood. On the opulent palate, silken glycerol unfurls layers of sticky toffee apples, stewed damsons, nutmeg cream, molten 70% dark chocolate, buttery roasted almonds, treacle tart, and faint stem ginger—bound by viscous sherry fruit bomb. The protracted finish resonates sweetly with raisin syrup, clove honey, gentle liquorice root, toasted brioche, and harmonious oak char. A scoundrel’s delight for sherry lovers, savour neat in a Glencairn, over ice, or in a Bobby Burns cocktail. Renowned for batch variability, it celebrates Speyside’s sherry-matured finesse with rascally charm and perennial accolades.
