Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Old pennies, Salt and soot with orange rind, grilled pineapple, apple cider, soy sauce, black pepper, and light barbecue sauce.
Palate: Oily and salty peanuts, tapioca pudding with raisins, slightly burnt marshmallows, honeydew melon, tinned peach slices, lychee, and shortbread.
Finish: The salt and soot exit the stage and leave the fruit and confectionary notes for the encore.
Comment: A fun dram that shows exactly what Glen Scotia is all about, and why we should be paying more attention to their range.

Produced from what the distiller feels are the hand-selected best casks in the warehouse. Bottled at 51.5% and non-chill-filtered the Victoriana is currently the top of the line in the Glen Scotia range, it has a prominent smokiness. Finished in deeply charred oak and possibly some Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks.

An icon.
We could have left it at that, but sometimes the distillery has such a special place in our hearts that we need to take it a step or two further. Bowmore is Islay's oldest distillery. It was founded in 1779 along the shores of Loch Indaal, the body of water that nearly bisects the isle of Islay. The waves literally lick the walls of the warehouses, and whether or not you believe in the idea of whisky terroir, there is simply no debate when it comes to acknowledging that the barrels rolling out of these ancient dunnage warehouses truly are something special.
Bowmore 18 has had its ups and downs throughout the years, but in the past few releases we've been privy to, show the distillery back at the top of its game. Seemingly gone are the lavender-heavy days of distillation; we're back in full-on fruit mode. And the smoke? Bold enough to provide an unwavering backbone, yet gentle enough to expand the appeal well beyond the peat-addicted masses. Great to have Bowmore back where it should be.
