Scapa
Tasting Notes
This captivating single malt whisky from the remote Scapa distillery on the Orkney Islands boasts a unique character forged by the rugged coastal environment. Distilled in 1993 and expertly matured for 11 years in refill sherry casks, it unveils a remarkable symphony of flavors. On the nose, enticing notes of dried fruits, warm spices, and a subtle hint of sea salt tantalize the senses. The palate is greeted by a velvety smoothness that unfolds layers of rich toffee, dark chocolate, and a delicate waft of peat smoke, reminiscent of the island's whispered tales. The finish lingers with a delightful balance of sweet and slightly briny notes, leaving a lasting impression of Scapa's distinctive character. A true embodiment of its island heritage, this whisky is a rare gem that transports you to the windswept shores of Orkney with every sip.
