Scallywag Blended Malt

This was a winner with everyone 👏 Nice full, slightly oily mouthfeel. Sweet vanilla, Sherry and fruit cake all the way. Bit of spice and kick at 46%. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Again, something off putting on the nose. Drinks OK. Not sure I'd go back to this dram or not. Wouldn't buy a bottle.

#3 - on the buttery side

Le nez de ce blended est tout simplement sublime, riche et très complexe. Chaque fois j’y trouve quelque chose de nouveau. La finale est surprenante en longueur et bien épicée. A la première tentative je l’ai trouvé trop vif en bouche. Par contre a la deuxième tentative je l’ai beaucoup plus apprécié je l’ai laissé respirer presque qu’une heure dans ma tulipe. Beaucoup d’écorces d’oranges. Pour terminer le packaging magnifique ja ajoute pas au goût mais cela bonifie l’expérience.

This one is a Scallywag and I think a bit of fun. Nose is stewed fruits, sherry, malt and vanilla, citrus maybe blood orange and hint of something funky. Nose is reasonably complex. Taste is like the nose in many ways being fruit driven but quickly it all gets blended in with a burnt sugars and the sugar note is not one note it's complex. Think bake fruits covered in brown sugar topped in dark chocolate. Finish has hints of ginger spice and a decent dash of pepper and tannin. Medium long finish. Water brings out more citrus notes in the nose but removes the Scallywag from the taste and it become a bit smooth and boring. But straight up this is an exciting and fun dram. Thanks to Cascode for the sample!
