Glen Scotia Victoriana Single Malt Whisky

Glen Scotia Victoriana is a cask strength single malt Scotch whisky from the Glen Scotia Distillery in Campbeltown. It’s crafted as a modern interpretation of classic Victorian-era Campbeltown whiskies. This expression is matured in first and second-fill bourbon casks before being finished for up to 12 months in heavily charred bourbon barrels and Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry butts. The whiskies are then married together for a further six months. It is bottled at cask strength and without chill-filtration or artificial coloring.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The aroma presents elegant oak notes leading to crème brûlée, melted sugars, and caramelized fruits.
• Palate: The taste is sweet and concentrated initially, with jammy blackcurrant fruitiness. A big mid-palate develops into roasted sugars and spice.
• Finish: The finish is clean and initially sweet, with cocoa, dark chocolate, and dark fruit notes. Some also describe a gently smoky finish.

Awards: Glen Scotia Victoriana has received significant recognition, including:

• Platinum Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2024 (after winning Double Gold for three consecutive years).
• Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2024, 2023, and 2022.
• Best Scotch Whisky 2022 at the Online Scotch Whisky Awards.
• Category Winner at the World Whiskies Awards in 2017.

Its cask strength bottling and unique finishing process in heavily charred oak and PX sherry casks contribute to a rich and layered flavor profile, balancing sweetness with spice and fruit notes. It’s considered a robust and intense whisky that rewards exploration, making it a favorite among whisky enthusiasts and critics alike.
