Glen Scotia's Victoriana sees the Campbeltown distillery's single malt drawn from casks with a particularly heavy char profile, imparting plenty of rich, roasty-toasty notes. This, however, is the Victoriana Cask Strength expression. It's obvious what the difference here is - it's bottled at cask strength, a robust 54.2% ABV, which helps bolster those aforementioned roasty-toasty notes.
Elegantly oak-y, with notes of toasty sugar and citrus peels.
More fruit forward on the nose, with dark berry juiciness at its core.
Orchard fruits dusted with dark chocolate.
Best mouthfeel I have had in any whisky. It's so thick and lovely. Doesn't drink like its cask strength. The fruitiness and mouthfeel of the whisky make this a must have in your whisky collection.
bitter sweet symphonie with spicy fruity aroma, full body, mildly smoky. perfect taste!
Having tried this recently at a friends house I wasn’t disappointed by the delightful warmth as it trickled down. A lovely feeling! It’s a whiskey my dad would have adored, sadly he isn’t here so I will be buying a bottle or 2 to drink it in his memory. It is deliciously full-bodied and rich and at 54%, it isn’t for the faint of heart!
It’s wonderful stuff, tasty , probably the best NAS I had last 2 years. If you can not gets your hands on springbank 12 YO, this is the best alternative still available
Really nails that over priced methylated flavour of furniture polish. Suitable as a lawnmower fuel if you’re desperate.
