Glen Scotia Victoriana Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

The winners are in from the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Over two weeks, seventy judges from around the world evaluated over 5000 spirits with around seventy Scotch whiskies scoring Double Gold. Thirteen whiskies advanced to the various "sweeps" elimination rounds. One of them was this. It's not the first time significant praise has been lavished on Glen Scotia's 'Victoriana'. The cask strength limited release also captured the judge's attention at the 2017 World Whisky Awards, describing it as "An incredible whisky, packed with complexity." Finished in 'deep charred oak', the latest batch has arrived with a further endorsement from Jim Murray. We have just secured a small volume for Glen Scotia chasers in Australia.

Created in the vein of Scotch whisky during the mid-to-late 19th century - the reign of Queen Victoria, hence the name - Victoriana is initially matured in ex-bourbon casks, after which 30% sees a secondary spell in first-fill Pedro Ximenez (sweet) Sherry casks and 70% is finished in new heavily charred American oak. The new batch weighs in at 54.2% and is non chill filtered for maximum mouthfeel. Going by our tasting of an earlier release, this should be nothing short of a flavour extravaganza.
