Douglas Laing Scallywag Speyside Blended Malt 46% ABV 4.5 litres online kaufen

The Douglas Laing Scallywag Speyside Blended Malt is a characterful blended malt Scotch whisky, composed exclusively of selected Speyside single malt whiskies. For this blend, the independent Scottish bottler Douglas Laing uses malts from Mortlach, Macallan and Glenrothes, amongst others. The whiskies used are predominantly matured in Spanish sherry casks, particularly in generous sherry butts, whose influence significantly shapes Scallywag’s lush, fruity and spicy character. The blending is carried out in deliberately small batches as a small-batch bottling. The name and the distinctive fox terrier on the label were inspired by a long line of fox terriers belonging to the Douglas Laing family, giving Scallywag its unmistakable appearance.


This edition presents the Scallywag Speyside Blended Malt in an impressive 4.5-litre large-format bottle at a robust 46 per cent. Douglas Laing bottles the whisky without chill filtration and without the addition of colouring. Its rich, dark colour is therefore developed exclusively during cask maturation and is characterised in particular by the Spanish sherry casks used. Scallywag is part of Douglas Laing’s Remarkable Regional Malts series, representing Speyside within it with a particularly sherry-influenced style. The unusual 4.5-litre format makes for an impressive presentation and is particularly suitable for larger whisky gatherings, events, the hospitality industry or as an eye-catching addition to an extensive collection.

Tasting Note

Colour: A rich, dark gold to amber, resulting solely from cask maturation.

Nose: Rich and spicy with intense vanilla and warm, sweet sherry cask notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and complex, with stewed fruit and dark chocolate, combined with nutmeg, cinnamon and delicate vanilla.

Finish: Long-lasting and expressive, with zesty orange, fresh ginger, cocoa and rich fruit cake.

The Douglas Laing Scallywag Speyside Blended Malt is particularly good enjoyed neat at room temperature, although a few drops of water can further open up the powerful fruit, spice and sherry notes. It pairs well with dark chocolate, fruit cake, roasted nuts or mature hard cheese, which complement the full-bodied Speyside style. The exceptional 4.5-litre large-format bottle is particularly well-suited to larger celebrations, whisky tastings, the hospitality industry or evenings of shared enjoyment with several guests. At the same time, the imposing bottle is a real eye-catcher for collectors and enthusiasts of Douglas Laing’s Remarkable Regional Malts.
