About Scallywag
Scallywag is Douglas Laing’s Speyside blended malt Scotch whisky, created as part of the company’s Remarkable Regional Malts series. Launched in 2013, it was inspired by the Douglas Laing family’s line of Fox Terriers, giving the whisky its name and distinctive dog illustration.
The whisky is made only from Speyside single malts, including spirit from Macallan, Mortlach and Glenrothes among others. This gives Scallywag a richer Speyside profile, with sherry influence, dark fruit, sweet spice and malt at the centre of the style.
Bottled at 46% ABV and without chill-filtration, Scallywag is presented as a small-batch blended malt rather than a standard blended Scotch. Spanish sherry butts play an important role in its character, bringing depth, colour and the rounded sweetness that has become central to the range.
