With Campbeltown whiskies becoming increasingly difficult to source, it's always a delight to see names as ubiquitous as Douglas Laing offering such a fantastic value expression of solely Campbeltown whisky, and at a full cask strength. The Gauldrons is a blend of undisclosed Campbeltown distilleries, though, with only three distilleries in the region, there'll be no prizes for guessing which ones! Soft maritime notes, heather honey, beeswax, and an aloof smouldering smoke; a perfect embodiment of this long-loved and important region.

The Gauldrons Campbeltown Malt Scotch Whisky tells the story of the eponymous dark, stormy coves on Campbeltown’s west shores, and literally means “Bay of Storms”. As you step onto The Gauldrons’ fine, clean sand, you also step back in time. Over yonder is where a spider building his web with great patience but great difficulty inspired King Robert the Bruce to try, try and try again, having been defeated by his enemies. All around, you can sense the ghosts of the long lost distilleries that once proudly proclaimed Campbeltown Scotland’s Whisky capital. The Gauldrons is a marriage of the finest Campbeltown Malts, bottled in very small batches at 46.2% ABV, and proudly without colouring or chill-filtration. The Gauldrons is one of Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts, alongside The Epicurean (The Lowlands), Timorous Beastie (The Highlands), Scallywag (Speyside), Rock Island (The Islands) and Big Peat (Islay).
