Glen Scotia 13 yo 1992/2005 (43%, Signatory, cask #305, 761 bottles) Matured in refill butt. Colour: pale gold. Nose: very pleasant at first nosing, starting on vanilla yoghurt, caramel crème, muesli and dried pears. Then there’s a little smoke, hints of tar, white rum… Really smells like a rum matured malt. Very enjoyable on the nose. Mouth: excellent attack, smoked and fruity (pears, white peaches), rather phenolic. Cough gums, pu-erh tea, thyme… It’s also quite malty and yes, again, we have notes of young rum. A great surprise. Finish: sweeter, rather long, still quite smoky, with something mineral and hints of tinned pineapples. Very entertaining and certainly a bang for your buck bottle. Worth chasing down if you ask me… 87 points.
