Description

Occupying a remote location, even by Campbeltown's standards, on the extreme West Coast of Scotland, The Gualdrons means "bay of storms". But it's not just the dark storm clouds gathering in the Atlantic that set the pulse racing here and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end...

As you step into The Gauldrons' fine, clean sand, you also step back in time. In the distance is where a spider building its web with great patience but great difficulty inspired King Robert the Bruce to try, try, and try again, having been defeated by his enemies. All around, you can sense the ghosts of the long-lost distilleries that once proudly proclaimed Campbeltown "Scotland's Whisky Capital".

Classically Campbeltown in style, Douglas Laing's The Gauldrons takes you down the long and winding road, over moorland, past now abandoned distilleries and villages, to one of the most isolated whisky outposts in the world. 

The complex nose reveals a honeycomb with brown sugar, sea salt and a late hint of subtle spices. The palate is mouth-coating and sweet with a peppery warmth developing to a beachy and maritime character. The finish brings vanilla and oak with puffs of smoke and a biscuity sweetness.

TGWA may try to highlight conditions of interest of lots being sold in the auction. The majority of the items being sold are of second-hand nature and TGWA cannot be held responsible for any conditions that may not have been specified when listing the lots on the site. Thus, the bidder fully understands, prior to confirming a bid they are happy with the condition of the lot, whether it has conditions noted or otherwise.

Should there be a discrepancy between the photo and the lot title/description, the photograph holds the precedent. No claim can be lodged against a misdescribed item as all lots are sold as seen.

Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, the condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit. Loss and breakage cover is available at 3% of the hammer price as standard.
