The holidays are over, but it’s always the right time to give a special gift to someone who appreciates – or collects – breed specific items.  In 2013, Douglas Laing & Co created a small batch blended Speyside vatted malt Scotch whiskey it named “Scallywag,” for the family’s long line of Fox Terriers.  The managing director of Douglas Laing & Co, Fred Laing, said: “From a chance sketch by a designer of our sweet, wee, rascal of a Fox Terrier, our Scallywag Malt Whisky was born. ‘Sweet’ was the key which focused us on Speyside. Its cask selection is self-evidently heavy on the Sherry background, balanced by first-fill Bourbon casks – so the resulting ‘vatted’ malt comes with an excellent pedigree.”
