Glen Scotia Victoriana Cask Strength

Spicy, cinnamon maybe, hint of leather, saline

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Glen Scotia Whisky Tasting, 27 May 2021. Hosted by GSC, with Iain McAlister, Master Distiller at Glen Scotia, as guest speaker). Nose: Buttered toast, honey, oak, vanilla, citrus Palate: Sweet fruit/berries, chocolate cherries, juicy/jammy fruit. Hints of charred oak Finish: Dark chocolate, thick jam, kirsch cherries, dusty smoke/ash, ginger Warming, jammy and lightly charred. A kick of alcohol on the nose, but quickly mellowing into jam and chocolate on the palate. This has become a real favourite everyday whisky for me. It’s one I keep restocking every time I finish a bottle. Delicious! Finished for 12 months in 30% PX butts, 70% refill bourbon. Came second out of the six drams, with 21% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 100% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. This got my vote for favourite of the tasting.

Strong, smooth finish.
