The name comes from Old Norse for shining storm laden skies and captures the unique history of the isle of Orkney, with its Viking past as well as the stormy spirit inside the bottle.

Scapa Skiren / Scapa Glansa | WhiskyNotes review Scapa Skiren / Scapa Glansa | WhiskyNotes review

An old independent bottling here – dating from the 1980s – of 8 year old single malt from the Scapa distillery on Orkney. Gordon & MacPhail have, of course, been bottling all sorts of treats for decades! Expect this one to be slightly oily with a hint of the ocean. Owned by Chivas Brothers, and characterised as an artisanal distillery with a product that captures the essence of their island home, Scapa is a gem of a whisky to find – and I’m glad the range is gently expanding. That individuality comes through in the two noted single malts this distillery produces: Scapa Skiren and Scapa Glansa. They are a study in subtle contrasts. For one, Scapa Skiren reveals a deliciously honeyed profile, which defies the typical peaty character that tends to accompany many other island whiskies. In fact, even though the water at source is peaty by nature, it’s transported by pipelines to limit exposure to more peat. Skiren delivers notes of tropical fruit and citrus, and a hint of heather. The palate is creamy, with soft pear hanging on a sustained finish. The caramel has depth and character and as well as interacting with the fruits it also bounces off the whiff of smoke drifting across the taste buds. It’s needless to say these images are incredible and will make you book a holiday to Orkney immediately.Scapa Bottler Distillery Bottling Bottling serie The Orcadian Bottled 08.2016 Casktype American Oak Casks Casknumber Batch GL01 Strength 40.0 % Vol. Size 700 ml 700 ml Barcode 5000299607176 Added on 07 sep 2016 9:52 pm by RoyC

Scapa Glansa Scotch Whisky : The Whisky Exchange

Cumbria may be better known for the Lake District than whisky but there’s now a distillery producing the good stuff.

If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows: Goodbye Scapa 16 Year Old: Parting is Such Peat Sorrow". The Whiskey Wash. 5 July 2016 . Retrieved 10 October 2021. The whisky fades out during a finish which I found rather bland and uninteresting. There is nothing really wrong in the exit, but then again there is nothing really right about it either. The Afterburn 8/10 The Scapa whisky distillery had been distilling since long before, having been founded by Macfarlane and Townsend in 1885. The little huddle of buildings lies just outside of Kirkwall at Scapa Bay, and the distillery draws its waters from the Lingro Burn. Scapa distillery is decidedly small with a total capacity of one million litres annually, though the distillery runs at roughly one third of this with a staff of just three, working three days weekly. Hiram Walker acquired the distillery in 1954 and installed a Lomond still a few years later to replace the wash still. The Lomond still is a comparatively recent innovation and produces a heavier, oilier spirit.
