Gauldrons Malt Scotch Whisky

Part of Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts series, which also includes the likes of Big Peat and Rock Oyster, The Gauldrons is a small-batch blended malt from Campeltown, named after the area in the region whose name literally means 'bay of storms'. Both maritime and with a sweet, honeycomb character typical of the region, this is made from a marriage of the independent bottler's best casks of Campeltown single malt.

NOSE

A dry saltiness with sweet cereal and a late hint of gentle peat smoke.

PALATE

Initially dry (beachy and maritime) warming to crunched sugar, barley and oak.

FINISH

Warmingly spiced, bringing puffs of smoke and rock pools with a dark sugar sweetness.
