Glen Scotia Victoriana
With its rare character and exceptional maturity finished in deep charred oak, our Victoriana is an exceptionally smooth single malt whisky with an aroma and flavour profile that works in exquisite harmony. Bottled in the traditional way straight from the cask and without filtration, its subtle wood and vanilla flavour is enhanced by a full-bodied spicy fruit aroma and mildly smoky aftertaste.

Nose: Dark with an elegant nose and hints of oak driving the bouquet. Interesting creme brulee notes and toasty sugar lead to generous caramelised fruits and citrus peels, and finally, polished oak.
Palate: Sweet and concentrated start with some jammy blackcurrant fruitiness. A big mid-palate. Typical tightening towards the back palate. Becomes more austere with water, but otherwise full of flavour with the sweetness of sherry and the robustness of the charring effect.
Finish: Clean and initially sweet. Green bean with a cocoa characteristic like dark chocolate. Gentle smoke on the finish courtesy of the deeply charred oak.

Jim Beam Old Grand-Dad 80 Proof
Basil Hayden Sr. - known as Old Grand-Dad to the generations that followed - made bourbon the way he wanted. He went against the traditional “grain” of the time and chose to distill his bourbon with a higher percentage of rye. This way of crafting bourbon was likely something he handed down to his son. And in turn, his grandson. That was Colonel R.B. Hayden who would justly name his bourbon after his Old Grand-Dad. The recipe today remains inspired by Basil's original with complex flavors and an unmistakable spiciness. First bottled in 1882, very little has changed about it. And that's the only way we'd have it.

Nose: Light cinnamon accompanied by vanilla, caramel, and a trace of baking spices are evident, but discreet.
Palate: Baking spices and a touch of cinnamon coalesce, forming a spicy base. A familiar caramel note offers a contrasting sweetness, accompanied by light apple.
Finish: As the baking spice and cinnamon dissipate, a sweet brown sugar flavor develops. The sweetness is accented by traces of apricot and oak, which quickly dissipate back to a lingering light spice.
