Description

Scallywag from Douglas Laing honours family Fox Terriers with Speyside single malts—Mortlach, Macallan, Glenrothes—matured predominantly in Spanish sherry butts and bourbon hogsheads. Non-chillfiltered at 46% ABV, it pours rich amber with oily viscosity. Nose bursts sweetly spiced with vanilla cream, manuka honey, orange peel zest, dark fruits, and cinnamon whispers atop polished oak resin. Sherry elegance layers dried figs, treacle toffee, and roasted chestnut warmth. Velvety palate explodes in stewed plums, dark chocolate truffle, nutmeg snap, mulled wine fruits, and caramelised pecan depth—a riotous sherry-driven symphony. Zesty ginger orange finish lingers long with fruitcake richness, cocoa dust, and warming wood spice grace. Cheeky, robust Speyside gem captivates neat or over ice.
