Description
The Douglas Laing The Gauldrons Eclipse Limited Edition is an exclusive Campbeltown blended malt Scotch whisky that carries the mysterious soul of the Scottish west coast. Produced by the renowned family business Douglas Laing & Co., which has been synonymous with hand-selected small batch and single cask bottlings since 1948, this special edition combines masterful craftsmanship, maritime depth and exceptional cask maturation.
The Limited Edition 2025 is limited to just 3,000 bottles worldwide and is bottled in cask strength at 52.9% vol. – not chill-filtered and without added colouring to preserve the natural character of the whisky. The speciality: It was matured in orange wine casks from Jerez, Spain, which give the whisky an unrivalled combination of fruitiness, spice and elegance.
In the glass, The Gauldrons Eclipse presents itself with a strong golden hue and a complex interplay of flavours reminiscent of the wild Campbeltown coast. Notes of malt, dried apricots, orange peel and roasted almonds characterise the nose. The palate is characterised by walnuts, honey, Ingwerer and stone fruit, rounded off by the fresh, citrusy sophistication of the orange wine finish. The finish is long-lasting, warm and spicy, with fine orange peel, nutty depth and a hint of maritime smoke – a whisky full of character with rarity value.
