Scapa Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1986 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with honeyed copper hues and a tawny glow.

Nose

A delicate coastal bouquet: sea air and a whisper of brine mingle with ripe orchard fruit, golden apple and pear, kissed by vanilla and honey. Subtle almond, citrus zest, and a trace of toasted oak lend warmth and depth to the aroma.

Palate

Silky on the palate, this 1986 Scapa unfurls orchard fruits—pear and apple—kissed by dried fig and raisin from sherry cask maturation. Creamy vanilla and honey sweetness envelop the mid-palate, while whispers of cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted oak add warmth and depth, finishing with a soft, nutty echo.

Finish

Silky and lingering, the finish opens with honeyed pear and citrus, soft vanilla and almond from the oak, then eases into a coastal breeze. A delicate kiss of spice and a faint sherry whisper persist, fading to a refined, maritime fade with a touch of salt.
