Douglas Laing & Co. Adds Cask Strength Variant To The Gauldrons Line Up

Independent Scotch whisky bottler Douglas Laing & Co. has among its various offerings The Gauldrons bottlings, which focus upon a small batch marriage of single cask single malts exclusively from the Campbeltown region of Scotland. It has recently a new cask strength variant to this line up.

The new The Gauldrons Cask Strength Edition, according to those behind it, is also a small batch marriage of single casks single malts from Campbeltown. Where it varies though is the fact it is cask strength – 53.4% ABV and offered with without coloring or chill filtration.

The Gauldrons is said to be “inspired by the eponymous dark sandy coves on Campbeltown’s west shores” and literally means “bay of storms”. This latest release is said to “pay homage to the elusive region by encapsulating its dark, mysterious allure – a positioning which is particularly relevant around the forthcoming Halloween season”. It is presented in a sleek black bottle with a deep purple wax seal and a glow in the dark label for what’s described as “premium and seasonal appeal.”
