He grew older, wiser and more mature, and that youthful exuberance gave way to an enhanced spirit with even more personality and depth. The same can be said for our Scallywag 13 Years Old, an explosive Sherry bomb with a rich complexity at its heart. Who says you can\u2019t teach an old dog new tricks!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In line with the Douglas Laing philosophy, this Speyside \u201cVatted\u201d Malt is proudly offered without colouring or chill-filtration and bottled at 46% alcohol strength. Scallywag Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky first launched in 2013, in homage to the Douglas Laing family\u2019s long line of Wire Fox Terriers, and is now sold in almost 50 markets worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scallywag 13 Years Old Tasting Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The nose is big, dark, distinctly sherried, raisin-y with home-baked fruitcake and molasses to the fore. Palate-wise, the sweet dark sherry opens, then detect late vanilla, nutmeg and ginger mixing with rich cereal tones: all of which combine in the still spiced finish offering a long and wagging tail-end of mocha.<\/p>\n<p>See more at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.douglaslaing.com\/news\/Douglas-Laing-Unleashes-Scallywag-13-Years-Old\">https:\/\/www.douglaslaing.com\/news\/Douglas-Laing-Unleashes-Scallywag-13-Years-Old<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Douglas Laing &amp; Co., leading independent Scotch Whisky firm, has unleashed Scallywag 13 Years Old, a limited edition \u201cbig brother\u201d to the original Scallywag Speyside [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2597,1,7099,7097],"tags":[1553,4452,4451],"class_list":["post-23497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-best-selling-brands-in-duty-free","category-latest-news","category-spirits","category-wines-spirits","tag-douglas-laing","tag-scallywag-duty-free","tag-scallywag-whisky"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
