The Scallywag The Chocolate Edition DL Spanish Sherry Cask is a limited release from Douglas Laing, a renowned brand celebrated for its masterful blended malt whiskies. Bottled in 2022, this exclusive edition was limited to just 3,600 bottles. Each bottle contains 700ml of whisky, with an ABV of 48%, and is matured exclusively in hand-selected sherry casks known for their rich chocolate character. This unique blend combines only Speyside single casks chosen for their cocoa-rich qualities, resulting in a tantalizingly chocolatey Scallywag expression.
The nose is immediately greeted by the aromas of hot chocolate, cocoa nibs, and sticky dates, which are beautifully complemented by hints of stewed fruits, baking spices, brown sugar, chocolate ganache, hazelnut, and praline. On the palate, the cocoa richness continues, unfolding layers of baking spices, brown sugar, dark forest fruits, and chocolate ganache, all creating a luscious and indulgent experience. The finish is long and irresistibly moreish, with lingering notes of chocolate ganache, praline, and berries, leaving a lasting impression.
This whisky proudly maintains its natural color and is offered without chill-filtration, allowing the natural spirit to shine in all its chocolatey glory. At a robust 48% ABV, this 2022 Chocolate Limited Edition is an exquisite treat for those who appreciate the intensity of dark cocoa flavors derived from richly spiced Speyside sherry butts. Indulge your senses by pairing this cocoa-rich Scallywag expression with a generous chunk of decadent dark chocolate and sink into the sublime layers of flavor.
