Glen Scotia Victoriana Single Malt Whisky

 

Victoriana is a modern interpretation of a classic Victorian style Campbeltown Malt Whisky. It makes a superb introduction to the classic Glen Scotia style that will surprise and delight whisky explorers and connoisseurs alike.

Matured in a combination of first and second fill bourbon barrels and finished in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and heavily charred oak casks.

Campbeltown may be the smallest whisky region, but it is certainly the whiskiest. There was a time when whisky virtually coursed through the streets of the town, and with a distillery on every corner, it was known as the ‘Victorian Whisky Capital of the World’. Over time, all that passion, knowledge and craft has been distilled down into Glen Scotia. Victoriana is a celebration of our proud whisky-making history and everything that makes our home unique.

TASTING NOTES:

NOSE

Crème brûlée, melted sugars, caramelised fruits and oak

TASTE

Roasted sugars, blackcurrants, spice

FINISH

Cocoa, dark chocolate, dark fruits

OVERALL

This elegant cask strength single malt offers a full-bodied palate with initial hints of oak, crème brûlée and caramelised fruits, leading to rich dark chocolate and blackcurrant palate.

The palate develops into maritime notes of sea spray, and subtle lingering peat smoke for which the Campbeltown region is renowned.
