Tasting Notes
Astra Victoria 12 Year Old is a delightful single malt whisky that takes you on a celestial journey through its rich, fruity flavors. The nose beckons with aromas of aged oak, leather-bound books, and a hint of floral hibiscus, intertwined with notes of plum jam, barley sugar sweeties, and candied lemon. The palate offers a delightful mix of trail mix and granola, with dried fruit sweetness and candied nuts, before unveiling layers of drying oak, cranberries, and blackcurrants. The finish is a lingering embrace of old, tannic, dense sherried oak, wrapping up the experience with woody spice, maple syrup, and fruit sponge. This Speysider is a true star in the whisky firmament, boasting a unique label showcasing constellations that represent its 12 zodiac sign-inspired tasting notes. Sip it slowly, and let your imagination soar among the constellations, where you might discern outlines of cinnamon sticks, treacle tins, gingerbread men, and walnuts in the night sky.
