Scallywag 10-year-old is a blended Scotch whisky bottled at 46% ABV, with the age statement indicating the youngest whisky in the blend is 10 years old. As a blend, it is made by combining whiskies to create a balanced, approachable style.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller, rounded profile rather than something smoky or sharply intense. The 46% strength can bring a little more texture and flavour concentration while still being easy to enjoy neat or with a small splash of water.
