Scallywag the Winter Edition 2022
SCALLYWAG The Winter Edition 2022 is a cask-strength Speyside blended malt Scotch whisky from Douglas Laing’s Scallywag range. Created as the third annual Winter Edition release, it brings together hand-selected Speyside single malts matured entirely in sherry casks, then bottled at 54% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtration.
Douglas Laing selected Speyside single malts for this 2022 Winter Edition and matured the whisky exclusively in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry butts. The release was limited to 5,400 bottles and bottled at cask strength. Exact-product sources also verify natural colour and non-chill filtration.
This 2022 Winter Edition opens with candied cherry and dark chocolate aromas, supported by vanilla pod, spiced biscuit and cocoa. The palate is rich and seasonal, bringing cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger together with dark chocolate, forest fruits, prunes and dates. Its finish lingers with spiced oak, sherry-soaked fruit cake and warming ginger spice.
A characterful choice for drinkers who enjoy full-bodied, sherry-led Speyside whisky, SCALLYWAG The Winter Edition 2022 suits slow sipping after dinner, festive gatherings and considered whisky gifting. Serve it neat first, then add a few drops of water if desired to open the cask-strength spice and fruit character.
