Tasting Notes
The Douglas Laing Scallywag Winter Edition (Orange Cask) is a vibrant and indulgent seasonal release — a Speyside blended malt finished in rare Spanish Orange Wine casks. This limited edition captures the magic of après-ski evenings, combining Scallywag’s signature richness with bright citrus energy.
On the nose, expect rich fruit, sweet marmalade and fragrant winter spices. The palate is warming yet lively: zesty orange slices, honey, caramelised sugar and spiced oak. The finish is long and comforting, delivering cinnamon heat balanced by soft vanilla creaminess. Bottled at natural cask strength (53.9%), with no colouring or chill-filtration.
