Smell

The Gauldrons unfolds a tantalising symphony of fragrances: sweet vanilla and malty warmth combine with fresh, grassy aromas. Spicy nuances dance harmoniously with hints of brown sugar, creamy caramel and the invigorating freshness of pear peel. An aromatic work of art.

Taste

The blend unfolds on the palate in a spicy, pithy feast: peppery intensity, strong oak notes and a pinch of salted caramel form a robust base. The flavour of roasted peanuts combines elegantly with a hint of light forest honey. A powerful pleasure.

Finish

The whisky closes with a sweet, medium-length finish. The flavour of burnt sugar lingers gently and leaves a delicious aftertaste.

Thoughts

The small batch release impresses with balanced flavours ranging from sweet vanilla and spicy pepper to elegant oak notes. A whisky that impresses on the palate with salty caramel and roasted peanuts. The medium-long, sweet finish with burnt sugar rounds off the flavour experience. Douglas Laing presents a harmonious experience that celebrates the Campbeltown region in every nuance.
