Douglas Laing's The Gauldrons (700 ml)

Part of Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts series, which also includes the likes of Big Peat and Rock Oyster, The Gauldrons is a small-batch blended malt from Campeltown, named after the area in the region whose name literally means 'bay of storms'. Both maritime and with a sweet, honeycomb character typical of the region, this is made from a marriage of the independent bottler's best casks of Campeltown single malt. The bottle's spiderweb design is a nod to the local legend that King Robert the Bruce, having been defeated by his enemies, was inspired by the sight of a spider building his web in the bay to carry on fighting.
