Following the success of its award-winning Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky range, independent Scotch Whisky specialist Douglas Laing & Co. proudly introduces Scallywag Noir, an extraordinary limited-edition release designed to captivate the senses and embrace the allure of darkness.
Scallywag Noir is predominantly finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks sourced from Jerez, in the Andalusian region of southern Spain. This rich cask influence is said to “impart deep velvety sweetness, dark fruits, and warming spices “creating an indulgent and complex whisky experience. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 52.8% ABV, without chill-filtration or added colouring, Noir embodies the signature bold and unfiltered character of the Scallywag range.
Encased in a premium gold-foiled carton and featuring a brand-new bespoke-shaped front label, this release brings a fresh yet luxurious aesthetic to the beloved Scallywag family.
On the nose, Scallywag Noir is said to offer “a symphony of deep velvety sweetness, dark fruits, and warming spices. Each sip reveals an enigmatic complexity, with whispers of dark chocolate, spiced oak, and sherry-soaked raisins unravelling on the palate. The long, lingering finish is utterly indulgent, delivering notes of molasses, ripe figs, and black cherries.”
Scott Morrison, Senior Brand Manager comments:
“Scallywag has always been about rich, sherried indulgence, and with Noir, we’ve taken this philosophy to the next level. Pedro Ximénez casks lend a deep, dark intensity to the spirit, creating a whisky that is as luxurious as it is complex. Noir is an invitation to venture into the shadows and discover the richer, darker side of Scallywag.”
Scallywag Noir is available at select retailers, whisky specialists, and online.
