Description
The Douglas Laing SCALLYWAG The Winter Edition is a powerful limited special bottling from the popular Scallywag range and is aimed at lovers of intense, wintery flavours. This Speyside blended malt Scotch whisky combines selected malt whiskies from Speyside and is bottled in Natural Cask Strength at 53.9% vol. It is bottled uncoloured and non-chill-filtered, fully preserving the structure, depth and natural cask colour. Presented in a high-quality gift box, this edition emphasises its collector’s and gift character.
The defining feature of this Winter Edition is the finish in orange wine casks from Jerez de la Frontera in Spain. This special choice of cask combines the classic, fruity elegance of Speyside malt Scotch whisky with the fresh, citrus-accentuated flavour of orange wine. The result is a multi-layered whisky that harmoniously interweaves rich fruit, jammy sweetness and warming spicy notes. Careful maturation ensures an expressive depth and a clearly seasonal character that is perfect for the Kaltern season.

The Douglas Laing Scallywag The Winter Edition is ideal for pure enjoyment on chilly evenings. A few drops of water open up additional fruity and spicy facets. In culinary terms, this Speyside blended malt harmonises perfectly with winter desserts, orange and chocolate creations, gingerbread, cinnamon desserts or mature hard cheese. With its intensity, depth and long-lasting, warming finish, this limited edition bottling is a winter whisky with a strong character and a clear signature.
