Scapa Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber

Nose

Coastal air and golden honey greet the nose, with orchard fruit and citrus zest brightening the bouquet. Vanilla and almond lend creaminess, while sea-salt and a whisper of brine echo the island character. A touch of sherry adds a velvet undercurrent of dried fruit and spice, finishing with quiet warmth.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied and elegantly spirited, this Scapa delivers lemon zest and pear with a subtle honeyed sweetness. Sherry influence drapes the fruit in dried fig, cocoa and a touch of toffee, while a whisper of sea salt and vanilla threads through. The finish is long and warming, with nutmeg and gentle oak lingering gracefully.

Finish

Long, refined finish with a coastal glow. Honeyed malt gives way to almond, dried fruit, and cocoa, while a touch of vanilla and oak lingers. A saline whisper threads through the sweetness, leaving a soft, persistent spice that invites the next sip.
