  The Gauldrons Batch 1 Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 46,2%

  Item no.: 22227865434-9001

  The first release in a new range is always something of a milestone. The Gauldrons Batch 1 was Douglas Laing's first attempt at gathering Campbeltown's character into a single, accessible bottle.

  Expert Description

  The Gauldrons Batch 1 is a Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky composed of single malt from the region's distilleries and bottled at 46.2%.

  As the very first release in The Gauldrons range, Batch 1 set the tone for what has since become a staple in Douglas Laing's line-up: a maritime, honeyed blend bottled without added colour or chill filtration, in smaller batches to preserve variation and character from cask to cask.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Honey and sea air meet crisp apples and a hint of spiced oak.

  Palate

  Maritime and round, with a clear saline edge and an underlying sweetness that holds balance throughout.

  Finish

  Long and salty, with a lightly spiced close that builds on the nose's honey notes.

  The Gauldrons Batch 1 Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 46,2%

  Item no.: 22234-9045

  The bay of storms has lent its name to this whisky. Sea air, seaweed and a touch of honey meet in a glass from Campbeltown.

  Expert description

  The Gauldrons Batch 2 is a Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing, assembled purely from malt whisky sourced from Campbeltown distilleries and bottled at 46.2% ABV.

  The name Gauldrons refers to the dark, storm-battered coves on Campbeltown's west shores, whose name roughly translates to "bay of storms", and the bottle's spiderweb design nods to the legend of Robert the Bruce, who after a defeat was inspired to keep fighting by a spider building its web in this very bay.

  Batch 2 is the second release in the series and, like the first, is bottled in small batches with no added colouring and no chill filtration, preserving the whisky's raw, maritime character.

  Douglas Laing was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing and is today carried on by the third generation of the family, with Cara Laing a central figure following a split of the company in 2013.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Crisp sea air, gentle smoke and Manuka honey, spiced with a hint of dried seaweed.

  Palate

  Maritime character that shifts into sweet shortbread, dry oak and gristy cereal notes.

  Finish

  Distinctly spicy, with puffs of smoke, Madagascan vanilla and cinnamon pancakes.

  The Gauldrons Batch 5 Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 46,2%

  Item no.: 22234-9046

  Sea spray and heather drift together in a glass from Campbeltown's quiet coastline. The Gauldrons Batch 5 speaks for a whisky region that once ruled Scotland's distilling scene and today counts only a handful of working distilleries.

  Expert description

  The Gauldrons Batch 5 is a Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 46.2% ABV, assembled by independent whisky merchant Douglas Laing from selected malt whiskies distilled in the Campbeltown area.

  The series takes its name from The Gauldrons, a rocky shoreline near Campbeltown, and each batch brings together the best of the region's spirit in a fresh, limited release. Batch 5 is the fifth edition in the line, and as with previous batches the exact composition shifts as new casks are selected.

  The casks chosen for the blend are picked specifically to highlight Campbeltown's classic maritime style, where sea air and coastal maturation leave a clear mark on the whisky.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh sea air and a touch of seaweed meet sweet honey and a light streak of vanilla cream.

  Palate

  Round and salty with honeyed sweetness, soft malt and a gentle smoky undertone that adds depth without taking over.

  Finish

  Long and salty, with lingering honey sweetness that slowly gives way to dry cereal notes.
