Glen Scotia Victoriana, Campbeltown whisky, inspired by Victorian times. Cask strength single malt for whisky connoisseurs. Though batches will vary, a typical batch of Victoriana is made from 80% 10-12-year-old malt from 1st fill ex-bourbon and 20% of 16-18-year-old malt from refill European oak. These casks are then married in a mix of ex PX and heavy char casks for a further 12 months.
Distillery Notes
Our master distiller hand selects the casks from our reserve cellar, chosen of their rare characteristics and exceptional maturity. Finished in deep charred oak, the result is an exceptionally smooth single malt whisky whose aroma and flavour work in harmony. Bottled in the traditional way straight from the cask and without filtration, its subtle wood and vanilla flavour is enhanced by a full-bodied spicy fruit aroma and mildly smokey aftertaste.
Nose
Dark again. An elegant nose with hints of oak driving the bouquet. Interesting creme brulee notes leading to generous caramelised fruits and finally polished oak.
Palate
Sweet and concentrated start with some jammy blackcurrant fruitiness. A big mid-palate. Typical tightening towards the back palate. Becomes more austere with water.
Finish
Clean and initially sweet.The green bean, with cocoa characteristic.
