Douglas Laing Scallywag

Scallywag from Douglas Laing & Company is a blended malt Scotch whisky representing the Speyside region of Scotland. A blended malt is one of the five categories of Scotch whisky officially recognized by the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA). Defined in regulations back in 2009, a blended malt Scotch whisky contains a combination of single malt whiskies which originate from separate distilleries and no grain whisky.

Additionally, the Speyside designation on the label indicates to the consumer that all of the single malts involved in the process were distilled in the Speyside region. Specifically, the distilleries of Mortlach, Macallan, Dailuaine, Inchgower, and Glenrothes are named as contributing to the blend. Ex-sherry butts and ex-bourbon hogsheads are used in the maturation process. Douglas Laing & Company presents Scallywag without the addition of coloration or the use of chill filtration.
