The Gauldrons Batch 2

The Gauldrons is inspired by the eponymous dark sandy coves on Campbeltown's west shores and literally means "bay of storms". It was here King Robert the Bruce, having been defeated by his enemies, was encouraged, whilst watching a spider building his web with great patience but great difficulty, to try, try and try again. It is this ancient legend which is reflected in The Gauldrons packaging which features an intricate spider illustration.

The complex nose reveals 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 maritime character. The finish brings vanilla and oak with puffs of smoke and a biscuit-y sweetness.
Small batch bottling.
