Toasty caramelised sugar, citrus peel, light fruit, slight florals, oily richness — the deep char immediately apparent
Immediately spicy — ginger, white pepper, chilli heat, crème brûlée, vanilla, mild maritime peat, funky workshop character
Long — ripe red apple, coastal brine, creamy vanilla custard, drying woody tannins — Campbeltown at cask strength
Glen Scotia Victoriana — OSWA Whisky of the Year 2022. Deeply charred oak. Cask strength 54.2%. Campbeltown's award winner.
Caramelised sugar and citrus nose. Spicy, peppery palate with crème brûlée. Long, briny, tannic finish. Award-winning Campbeltown.
Victoriana earns an 8.5 — cask strength Campbeltown at £75, and a Whisky of the Year winner. The deep char divides but delivers. Outstanding value.
