Douglas Laing
unveil the 4th annual release of their
Scallywag Chocolate Edition.
 Just in time for World Chocolate Day
on 7th July Douglas Laing has unveiled
the next instalment of their big rich
sherried Speyside dram, Scallywag
Chocolate Edition 4.
This fourth annual release of Scallywag
Chocolate Edition blended malt whisky
like its predecessors is a marriage of
100% Sherry matured Single Cask Single
Malts only from Speyside. Each cask is
said to have been hand-selected for its
"cocoa-rich tasting notes". The
resulting spirit unveils a "natural
burnt sienna colour" with delectable
notes of "creamy chocolate icing, juicy
dates and rich red fruits". As you would
expect from Douglas Laing the
full-bodied dram has been bottled
without colouring or chill-filtration at
a strength of 48% ABV.
There will be 3,000 bottles of the
Scallywag Chocolate Edition 4 available
worldwide, the limited edition is
packaged in a premium, gold-foiled gift
tube and is expected to retail at
£55.00/€64.00.
In tandem with the new launch, Douglas
Laing has partnered with Glasgow based
luxury Chocolatier – Sugarsnap – to
create a set of bespoke Scallywag Whisky
infused chocolates boasting decorative
colourways inspired by Scallywag
packaging. The partnership is set to
elevate Scallywag’s positioning as "the
ultimate chocolate companion" by
showcasing how first, the chocolate
inspired the Whisky, and now, how the
Whisky has come full circle to inspire
the chocolate. Scallywag’s “Small Batch,
Big Flavour” ethos is said to have been
“honoured” throughout the entire
chocolate-making process. This
mouth-watering collaboration is set to
be dripped out on World Chocolate Day
(Wednesday 7th July) before flowing into
a full month of tempting social media
activity, mainly on Instagram (@scallywagwhisky).
Commenting on the new release, Cara
Laing, Director of Marketing at Douglas
Laing & Co, said: "We have been
delighted to watch this delicious,
melt-in-the-mouth limited edition
release grow by popular demand since
2018. It’s a joy being able to taste and
hand-select the darkest, fruitiest and
most cocoa-rich Single Cask Single Malts
that Speyside has to offer. This special
bottling is certainly one that we have a
lot of fun with year after year as we
strive for chocolate perfection! We
can’t wait to share more delicious
details about Scallywag’s partnership
with Sugarsnap on World Chocolate Day
too – keep your eyes peeled on
Scallywag’s social channels!"
