The Gauldrons is blended malt scotch whisky bottled by Douglas Laing and is a blend that has been produced to capture the heart of Campbeltown whisky.

The saltiness is carried through the finish and is rounded off with creme brulee.

Created by one of Scotland's living whisky legends, the White Heather blend has been revived by Billy Walker, a creation of specially selected single malts and grain whisky, undergoing a dual maturation system.

An excellent all-rounder quaffing dram.

This new blend from Adelphi takes its name from long-time collaborator and whisky legend Charles Maclean (MBE), and by pure coincidence, a rocky landmark known as 'Maclean's nose' near the Ardnamurchan distillery. This is an old-fashioned style of blend - a very high proportion of single malt is used (70%) predominantly from the west coast of Scotland, giving this whisky a flavour of burnt citrus peel, sea salt toffee and bonfires by the beach - a cracking blend to share this Christmas.

Whisky is the traditional drink of British farmers and in certain parts of the country it is affectionately known as "Sheep Dip". From that custom comes the name of this Malt Whisky. '

Almost fifty years ago, Glenallachie Master Distiller, Billy Walker, began his whisky journey as a blender. Capitalising on his almost half a century of experience Walker has sourced some of the finest single malt and grain whiskies from across Scotland. Once blended this whisky was then laid to rest for an additional 3 years in a combination of American and Spanish Oak casks. The result is a delicate blended Scotch whisky which is rich in notes of heather honey, butterscotch, orange peel and a touch of peat smoke. It is a wonderful balance of wood and spirit.
