The Gauldrons Campbeltown Sherry Casks Blended Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Campbeltown whisky that showcases the perfect marriage between Highland smoke and Spanish sherry sweetness?

The Gauldrons Campbeltown Sherry Casks Blended Malt represents Douglas Laing’s mastery in their Remarkable Regional Malts series. This limited-edition expression captures the essence of Scotland’s smallest whisky region, where maritime influences meet ex-Oloroso sherry cask maturation. The result balances Campbeltown’s signature smoky character with luxurious sherry richness, similar to how Kavalan’s Oloroso expression demonstrates sherry cask excellence, though with distinctly different regional characteristics than Bushmills’ Irish sherry cask approach.
