Just in time
for World Chocolate Day Douglas Laing
unveils the 5th annual bottling of the
Scallywag The Chocolate Edition.
 Douglas
Laing today marked
the celebration of World
Chocolate Day by
unveilling
the 5th annual chocolate bottling
from the Scallywag brand: Scallywag The
Chocolate Edition, 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 in 2013. Created using
only the finest Speyside Single Cask
Single Malts, including – amongst others
– Mortlach, Macallan and Glenrothes.
They describe the
whisky as: "distinctive with
a natural,
burnt-sienna colour and delivers warmth
and depth in abundance; with rich dark
chocolate, sweet stewed fruits and
spiced vanilla flavour notes".
The new Chocolate Edition has been
created to place a spotlight on
Scallywag’s trademark cocoa-rich
quality. The 'dessert-like'
recipe marries together a selection of
Douglas Laing’s most chocolatey
flavoured, 100% Sherry Matured Speyside
Single Malts.
Commenting on the new release, Chris
Leggat, CEO said: "It’s been great to
watch the momentum and demand for
Scallywag’s Chocolate bottling ramp up
year after year, from our initial 300
bottle release back in 2018, to our now
3,600 bottle fifth annual release. As a
company we strive for continual
improvement and Scotch Whisky perfection
– and I have to say this year’s
Scallywag Chocolate expression, with its
striking fully bespoke packaging and
incredibly indulgent liquid quality –
comes pretty close to our ambitious
objective. We have great fun selecting
the most cocoa-rich Single Cask Single
Malts that Speyside has to offer and
refining the recipe thereafter,
demonstrating why blending is an
extremely skilled art form in its own
right."
The new release is strictly limited to
just 3,600 bottles globally. Scallywag
The Chocolate Edition is bottled at 48%
ABV without colouring or chill
filtration, it has a RRP of £57.50 /
€67.50 and will be available from
specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange,
Hard To Find Whisky
and
