Sweet Wee Scallywag Blended Malt
$99.99
Check out this label - a handsome fox terrier sporting a monocle! From Douglas Laing, Scallywag is blend of Speyside whiskies, including Macallan, Glenrothes and Mortlach. There's some bourbon cask whisky in the blend, but most come from Spanish sherry butts, which give Scallywag a pleasant sweetness.
Producer Description
"Douglas Laing's Scallywag is a Small Batch bottling created using only the finest Speyside Malts including - amongst others - Mortlach, Macallan and Glenrothes. Bottled at 46% alcohol strength and non-chill-filtered, this Small Batch bottling has a distinct rich, dark colour - extracted from the many fine Spanish Sherry Butts used during maturation. In fact, we use 40% first-fill Sherry butts in the mix, and the result is a truly charming Malt with a richly spiced character, fused with vanilla (from the bourbon casks used), sweet stewed fruit, Christmas pudding, dark chocolate, zesty orange and sweet tobacco.

Mythical Beasts Glenrothes 34 Year
$1,499.99
34 year old cask strength, heavily sherried, Glenrothes, for less than the 25 year official bottling... and it has a good Whiskybase score! Bottled at a perilously low cask strength of 42% after maturing its whole life in Oloroso Sherry! 89.25pts Whiskybase
G&M Discovery Glenrothes 11 Year
$99.99
Glenrothes in Sherry. Makes sense. A lot of times, indie bottlings are pretty drastic departures from a distillery's widely recognized profile, but every now and again we end up with something that sticks closer to the tried and true. This one is of comparable age, drinking strength, and obviously cask type, to core range bottlings from the distillery... but almost certainly better. Because let's face it, Gordon & MacPhail have a sort of 'Midas Touch' with Sherry casks. A sure bet at just shy of three figures (that penny still counts).
