Finish: Dry and long with a coastal minerality, gentle smoke, and lingering spice, like the last embers of a beach fire.

Interesting Fact
“Gauldrons” means “bay of storms” in Scots, a name inspired by the wild coastal cliffs near Machrihanish, where ancient legends and sea mists blur. The black wax seal and gothic label only hint at what’s inside.

Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed neat in a dark glass. Add a few drops of water to soften the smoke and reveal hidden sweetness. Pairs surprisingly well with sea salt chocolate or smoked almonds.
