The Speyside region is known for producing slightly oily whiskies, that are lighter yet more sweet on the palate. Once the Speyside whiskies used to craft Scallywag are identified, they ware married together in Spanish oak casks that were previously used to mature sherry. Then, the whisky is non-chill filtered before being brought to proof and bottled by hand.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAs a result, Scallywag Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky Small Batch Release has a soft yet sweet aroma, with hints of plantains, ginger, saltines and candied oranges. The aroma gives way to notes of nutmeg, toffee, cereal, honey and cinnamon on the palate, and leads to a finish accented by touches of red fruits, dark chocolate, tobacco and vanilla.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nScallywag Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky Small Batch Release was named the Best Blended Malt Whisky at the 2014 World Whiskies Design Awards Competition, and earned the Silver Medal at the International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition. In addition, it earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and earned a score of 92 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

In response, Parliament passed the Whisky Excise Act of 1823, which permitted distilleries in Scotland to distill whisky in exchange for a license that cost £10 and subjected each liter of whisky produced to a special tax. Within decades, Scotch whisky became one of the country's greatest exports.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3790\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Scallywag bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
