SCALLYWAG The Chocolate Edition 2024

Scallywag The Chocolate Edition 2024 is the seventh annual limited-edition release in Douglas Laing’s popular Scallywag Chocolate Edition series. Crafted as a Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, this indulgent expression is made entirely from Speyside single malts and created to showcase naturally rich chocolate, dark fruit and sherry-led depth.

For the 2024 edition, Douglas Laing adds a distinctive twist by finishing the whisky predominantly in ex-Port casks after initial maturation in Spanish Sherry casks. This Port cask influence brings deeper layers of dark forest fruits, juicy wild berries, brown sugar and rich cocoa sweetness, enhancing Scallywag’s signature chocolate-forward character.

Bottled at 48% ABV, with natural colour and no chill-filtration, Scallywag The Chocolate Edition 2024 preserves its full texture, flavour and depth. On the nose, expect dark forest fruits, warm spices and rich cocoa sweetness. The palate is silky and smooth, revealing brown sugar, wild berries and decadent dark chocolate. The finish is warming and comforting, with baking spices and a touch of cocoa-liquorice.

Presented in a striking screen-printed black bottle with bespoke paper wrap inspired by classic Port wine packaging, Scallywag The Chocolate Edition 2024 is a highly collectible release for Douglas Laing fans, sherried whisky lovers and drinkers who enjoy rich dessert-style Speyside malts.
