The Gauldrons Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (1L, 46.2%)

The Gauldrons is a Douglas Laing blended malt made from Campbeltown malts, in a 1 litre bottle at 46.2% ABV. Its name is said to mean 'Bay of Storms', after the dark, stormy shore on the west coast of Campbeltown. It is bottled in very small batches, non-chill-filtered and with no added colouring. The nose has sea air, gentle smoke, manuka honey and dried seaweed. The palate starts maritime, then moves to sugared shortbread, dry oak and grist. The finish is clearly spiced, with smoke, Madagascan vanilla and cinnamon pancakes.
