Scapa Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask #18069 Whisky 30 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with a warm honey undertone; coppery edges catch the light, adding a reddish glow that speaks of decades in wood.

Nose

Intriguing maritime nose with sea salt and brine framing a rich core of dried fruit—fig and raisin—under sherry‑cask influence. Notes of toffee, dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla and nutmeg layered over polished oak. A whisper of smoke and leather adds refined, old‑world elegance.

Palate

Sherry-kissed and majestic, this 30-year-old Scapa coats the palate with toffee, fig and dark chocolate, lifted by orange zest and toasted almond. Oak and spice weave through a velvety texture, while a maritime whisper preserves the island character. Long, warm finish with cocoa, spice and a subtle saline lift.

Finish

An expansive, long finish drenched in sherry depth: dark raisin and fig melt into cocoa and orange zest, with toasted almond and toffee lending sweetness. Spiced warmth—cinnamon and clove—unfolds gracefully, while a gentle sea-air whisper lingers, leaving a refined, velvety glow that slowly fades into an elegant maritime echo.
