Scallywag 18 Year Old is a blended malt Scotch whisky bottled at 46% ABV, with a profile shaped by maturation in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. For a novice drinker, that usually points to a richer, sweeter style with pronounced dried-fruit character.
The age statement suggests added maturity and a more rounded feel than many younger whiskies. Expect a full, sherried style where sweetness, oak, and dark-fruit notes are likely to be more central than freshness or smoke.
