Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a mahogany edge, glowing with a warm, sunlit hue.
Nose
Sherry-rich and maritime, this Scapa awakens with dried fig, raisin and orange zest, layered over vanilla, toasted oak and a sea-salt breath. Notes of almond, cinnamon and cocoa thread through, delivering a luxurious, lingering invitation to the palate.
Palate
Full-bodied and velvety, this Scapa unveils sherried sweetness of fig, date and dark chocolate, braided with vanilla and orange zest. A maritime whisper and toasted almond carry through a warm, spicy finish, lingering with cocoa and a subtle salt-kissed depth.
Finish
An extended finish of plush sherry fruit, dried fig and date, braided with dark chocolate and toasted almond. Maritime minerality threads through as warming spices—cinnamon, clove—unfold slowly, with oak and a touch of salt sustaining the long, velvety fade.
