The Gauldrons Campbeltown Blended Malt Sherry Cask Finish Edition is a distinguished limited release from Douglas Laing. With only 5,580 bottles available, this blended malt is a precious find for whisky connoisseurs. Composed exclusively of single malt whiskies distilled in the legendary Campbeltown region of Scotland, known for their robust aromas of smoke and brine, this edition promises an extraordinary tasting experience. The whisky undergoes a meticulous finishing process in Spanish sherry casks, resulting in a powerful aroma and immersive complexity.
Bottled in 2023 at a potent 50% ABV, The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish Batch 2 remains true to its natural form, being non-colored and non-chill filtered. The nose captivates with a hint of smoke mingling with sweet notes of toffee apples, marshmallows, caramel, and candy floss. The palate expands with rich sensations of creme brulee, ginger, nutmeg, and strawberries, culminating in a finish that features black pepper, savory smoked barley, and tart stewed fruits.
The symbolism behind The Gauldrons is deeply rooted in the dark sandy coves on Campbeltown's west shores, known historically as the "bay of storms." The name and the spider motif on the packaging pay homage to the legend of King Robert the Bruce, who found inspiration in a spider’s perseverance in weaving its web. This whisky embodies that spirit of patience and determination.
This release marks the second batch of The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish from the reputable whisky producer Douglas Laing, following the inaugural release in 2022. As the sixth addition to the Remarkable Regional Malts series by Douglas Laing, The Gauldrons represents a harmonious marriage of the finest Single Cask Single Malts from the Campbeltown region. The prolonged finishing in Spanish Sherry Casks achieves a perfect balance, offering an explosion of rich, dark fruits and spice, alongside the salty and maritime notes for which Campbeltown is renowned.
