Scapa Distillery was opened in 1885 and embarked on a century of production involving few changes of ownership. It was silent for two years from 1934 and was rebuilt in 1959.
Relaunched in 2008 and now sadly discontinued. We only have a few bottles available and to Master Distiller members only. One per customer.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Violet crumble melting, old English toffee and orange marmalade. Dried orange peel and digestive biscuits.
Taste: Very smooth and delicious, floral like wild mountain thyme and highland heather. Freshly cut grass and more honey notes. Thick and mouth-coating. A few spices of cinnamon, clove and anise.
Finish: A long finish leads to more honey, malty oak and a touch of smoke.
