Douglas Laing
The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Edition # is a
marriage of the single malts only from
the Campbeltown region which have had a
lengthy finishing period in Spanish
Sherry Casks.
 Glasgow based distiller, blender, and
bottler, Douglas Laing has announced the
release of the second Sherry Cask
Edition of their Campbeltown Blended
Malt Scotch whisky brand, The Gauldrons.
This new release follows in the
footsteps of the first Sherry Cask
Edition, which was the first ever
Limited Edition release from The
Gauldrons, launching back in April of
2022.
The Gauldrons brand joined Douglas
Laing’s Remarkable Regional Malts in
2017, completing the range of Scotch
Whisky regions with the final addition
of Campbeltown. This edition joins the
existing core bottling and is strictly
limited to 5,580 bottles.
The Gauldrons, inspired by the eponymous
dark sandy coves on Campbeltown’s west
shores, literally means "bay of storms".
It was here that King Robert the Bruce,
having been defeated by his enemies, was
inspired whilst watching a spider
building its web with great patience but
great difficulty, to try, try and try
again. The spider has become synonymous
with The Gauldrons’ core expression,
featuring again in this new limited
edition.
Packaged in a sleek black bottle, and
featuring dark and mysterious grey and
red colourways, highlighting the Sherry
cask maturation, The Gauldrons Sherry
Cask Edition is brought to life in a
luxury gift tube featuring The
Gauldrons’ signature apothecary style
label completing the product’s premium
packaging.
This release is a marriage of the finest
Single Cask Single Malts only from the
Campbeltown region, and having enjoyed a
lengthy finishing period in Spanish
Sherry Casks contains “perfect balance,
with an explosion of rich, dark fruits
and spice alongside the salty and
maritime notes Campbeltown is famed
for.”
Commenting on the new release, Emma
Reid, The Gauldrons’ Brand Manager,
said: "We are delighted to launch the
second expression of The Gauldrons
Sherry Cask Finish. The Gauldrons brand
celebrates Campbeltown’s illustrious
history as a Whisky-making region and
this expression of The Gauldrons cements
Douglas Laing’s commitment to showcasing
the very best of Campbeltown. Building
on the success of last year’s release,
this edition remains classically
Campbeltown with a maritime sweetness
balanced by rich Sherry notes of spice
and dark fruits. We are looking forward
to sharing it with Whisky fans across
the world."
The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish has a
RRP of £65.00 / €74.00 and will
be available from May 2023 from
specialist online whisky shops such as
The Whisky Exchange,
Hard To Find Whisky
and
Master of
Malt
