Glen Scotia Victoriana

Briny with Sent’s of the ocean. Peaty finish. A bit strong. 90

Glen Scotia Victoriana: A Pretty Bottle. The nose was potent with acetone leading the way. While vanilla, oatmeal and caramel did make an appearance wrapped in a mildly smoky package, it wasn’t enough to save this one for me. The mouthfeel was light and fruity, offering some fun along the way, but I longed for other less expensive and interesting drams. The finish was super light, initially not showing much heat. That was followed up by nice burn afterwards. For the money, you can find dozens of more enjoyable things at equal or even at less than half the price. Sadly, this was “meh.” (OoTB February)

Very fruity. Vanilla, burnt caramel. Great!
