Glen Scotia Victoriana

Mineral noise. Salty warm, caramel, almond

Strong and rich, earthy, although I think the big flavor is "smoky." This may not be everyone's cup of tea but I quite like it.

Nose is filled with sweet and rich wafts of marzipan and toasted marshmallow. Spicy, full-bodied, starting with a blast of spices, like nutmeg. Smooth glide into warm oatmeal.

As the bottle has opened up after 10 months I feel I need to raise the score . Slight edge over the 15 year old but I will need to do a side by side comparison.
