Intro/Heritage:
Don’t let the mischievous fox terrier fool you, this is serious sherry-matured decadence in a glass. The Scallywag 10 Year Old from Douglas Laing’s beloved Speyside malt series is a limited-edition celebration of rich sherry influence, bottled without chill filtration or color. It’s bold, chocolatey, and unmistakably Speyside with a cheeky twist.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Deep and dessert-like. Sticky toffee pudding, dark berries, and chocolate shavings rise alongside spiced fruitcake and toasted almonds.
Palate: Full-bodied and indulgent. Waves of sherry-soaked raisins, cinnamon bark, cocoa nibs, and orange zest unfold with a syrupy texture and warming spice.
Finish: Long and rich. Dried fruits, nutmeg, and velvet-soft oak trail into a satisfyingly sweet fade.

Production Details:
Crafted exclusively from Speyside single malts, all aged in Spanish sherry casks for a full decade. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and uncoloured, ensuring a natural, flavor-forward dram that delivers on depth and character.
