Scapa Distillery Reserve Collection Single Cask #2681 Whisky 10 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with warm copper highlights and a subtle mahogany edge.

Nose

Sherry-soaked richness pours from the glass: dark fig and raisin with orange zest, dried apricot, and cacao. Honeyed vanilla and toasted almond mingle with rich oak, while a subtle sea-salt lift and coastal brine frame the sweetness, lending an elegant, coastal whisper to the aroma.

Palate

Rich and intense on the palate, this Scapa unfurls dark fruit notes of fig and raisin, with orange zest and a touch of cocoa from the sherry cask. Velvety yet powerful, it offers toasted oak, espresso depth, and warming spice—cinnamon and clove—balanced by a saline, maritime nuance that prolongs into a refined, lingering finish.

Finish

Long, refined finish with maritime salt and subtle spice, carried by sherry-influenced fruit—raisins and figs—giving way to dark chocolate, toasted almond, and warm oak. The heat from 55.4% lingers, leaving a clean, persistent sweetness and a final peppery tingle.
