Summary: Matured in refill bourbon barrels. A light and easy drinking malt with a long finish. Replaces the now discontinued 1993 vintage. Silver award winner Independent Bottlers Challenge 2011. Scapa Founded in 1885 and sitting on the rocks just above the sandy high tide line in Scapa Bay in Scapa Flow. Reopened in 2006 following substantial refurbishment, its smart whitewashed sea wall proclaiming its return to the malt whisky world. One of only four Scottish distilleries to have retained some Corten steel washbacks Using unpeated malt its whisky is light, however, maturation in bourbon oak casks in its own seaside, sea sprayed warehouses adds some vanilla and salt and cocoa and a little twist of woody spices. The very small volume which surfaces as single malt is rereleased primarily by independent bottlers. Nose: Floral notes initially, with a burst of ripe exotic fruits such as Kiwi. Sweet bubble gum influences develop and a hint of bees wax polish emerge. Palate: Mouth coating with a defined sweet edge, hints of summer fruits emerge and a burst of pepper spice and vanilla lingers.
