Release No.5 reveals a deeper, more indulgent side of Glen Scotia, shaped by a one year finish in a First Fill Oloroso Hogshead. This maturation brings a rich, dessert-like character to the fore, where juicy raisins and freshly baked cinnamon pastries lead into red toffee apple and indulgent Seville orange marmalade. Hints of plump golden sultanas in syrup emerge, before layers of warming oak spice build towards a long, comforting finish.
