Glen Scotia Victoriana Cask Strength
Campbeltown was one of the epicenters of Scotch whisky during the Victorian age, which is why Glen Scotia named one of their core range offerings after that particular time period.
According to master distiller Ian McAlister this single malt is finished in 30% Pedro Ximenez sherry butts and 70% heavily charred American oak for 12 months.

Tasting Notes
"The Glen Scotia Victoriana is rather fruity and slightly floral, with a nice oiliness to boot and just a whiff of furniture polish. The palate is darker than expected and certainly much more spicier than the nose suggests. It's funky with notes of charred oak, a soft saline quality and a touch of vegetal peat. Clearly this is about heavy oak maturation—but done very well."
