Douglas Laing
has unveiled the 6th annual limited
release of its decadent 100% sherry cask
matured Scallywag The Chocolate Edition.
 Glasgow
based distiller, blender, and bottler,
Douglas Laing has unveiled their latest
Scallywag The Chocolate Edition, this is
the 6th annual instalment of the
decadent dram which is a 100% Sherry
Cask Matured Limited Edition Speyside
Blended Malt Scotch Whisky.
The original Scallywag, a Small Batch
bottling within Douglas Laing’s
"Remarkable Regional Malts" range,
launched back in 2013 and is crafted
using only the finest Speyside Single
Cask Single Malts from the region.
Douglas Laing tells me that this latest
addition to the Chocolate Series marries
together a selection of Douglas Laing's
most cocoa-reminiscent Pedro Ximénez and
Oloroso Sherry casks, with the resulting
spirit showcasing a "striking natural
burnt sienna colour". With delectable
notes of "velvety dark chocolate, rich
red berries and buttery caramels", this
full-bodied dram has been bottled at a
high alcohol strength of 48% and is
proudly without colouring or
chill-filtration.
The packaging displays a bespoke
hand-drawn illustration from Douglas
Laing’s Head of Creative, Claire
Coetzee, complemented by a premium
bronze foil detailing to deliver a
luxurious look and feel.
Commenting on the new release, Scott
Morrison, Brand Manager said: "This
special bottling is certainly one that
we have a lot of fun with each year as
we strive for chocolate perfection. It’s
been great to watch the series grow in
popularity and demand over the years,
going from 300 bottles in 2018 to our
now 4,200 bottles sixth annual release.
Featuring a phenomenal hand-drawn design
combined with the exceptionally moreish
liquid, this bottling is a truly special
offering, and we can’t wait for people
to enjoy it!"

The Chocolate edition is a limited
