Scapa Distillery Reserve Collection Single Cask #2173 Whisky 10 Year Old · 2006 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery depth and a trace of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Sea-salt and citrus zest rise over a rich sherry core, with dried fig, raisin and red-berry notes weaving through—raspberry and plum—alongside roasted almond, cocoa and vanilla caramel. A spine of oak spice—cinnamon and white pepper—lifts the aroma, giving bold maritime character, depth, and a hint of sherry elegance.

Palate

Powerful and opulent, this 2006 Scapa Single Cask unfolds with dried fig and raisin, layered over dark cocoa and toffee. Sherry sweetness thickens the mid-palate, while almond paste and orange zest add nuance. A coastal, maritime bite of salt and iodine keeps it buoyant, then warm spice—clove, nutmeg, black pepper—drives a long, velvety finish with charred oak and lingering warmth.

Finish

Long, warming finish of dried fruit, dark chocolate and caramel, framed by cinnamon and clove. Sherry cask sweetness smooths into velvety oak, with a coastal salt kiss and a peppery warmth that lingers, fading to almond and leather.
