Scallywag Winter Edition 2025
Rare Ice Wine Cask Finish
Winter calls for something a little more daring.
The Scallywag Winter Edition 2025 takes Speyside Malt on an unexpected adventure – matured in Rare Ice Wine Casks from Eastern Europe and bottled at natural cask strength (52.4% ABV). The result? A Whisky that’s crisp, indulgent, and mischievously different.
Bright orchard fruits, honey, and candied orange meet warming winter spice, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts – a dram that’s every bit as bold as the season deserves.
With its frosted, cracked-ice effect bottle, it’s as striking on the eye as it is on the palate.
