Scapa Cask Strength Edition Whisky 16 Year Old · 1993 Vintage

Colour

Sun-kissed gold with warm amber depths and a glossy honey sheen.

Nose

Bright tropical fruit aromas lead—ripe mango, pineapple, passion fruit and guava—laced with vanilla warmth and a subtle oak echo. The cask-strength concentration keeps the bouquet vibrant and sun-kissed. A splash of water releases a broader spectrum, inviting zesty citrus and gentle spice to unfold.

Palate

Bold and warming at cask strength, it delivers tropical brightness—mango, pineapple and guava—paired with honeyed vanilla and a coastal salt nuance. With a drop of water the heat recedes to reveal coconut, dried apricot and subtle spice, while the texture remains creamy and full. The finish lingers with fruity warmth, gentle oak and a peppery bite.

Finish

Long, warming finish where tropical fruits—pineapple, mango, passion fruit—linger, tempered by toasted sherry oak, vanilla and a whisper of sea salt. The high ABV asserts itself, but a drop of water unfurls a creamy, silky fade that persists with coastal warmth.
