Scapa Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Golden honey with sunlit amber edges.

Nose

Fruit-led and inviting, the nose unfolds with candy-like fruit pastilles, vanilla icing, spiced custard and sugared almonds, a soft malt sweetness and a whisper of coastal air—very moreish Scapa.

Palate

On the palate, a candy-fruit sweetness leads the way, like fruit pastilles, with vanilla icing and creamy spiced custard. Orchard fruit dances with sugared almonds, a delicate nutty lift riding a silky, medium-bodied malt. A gentle, warming spice lingers into a long, moreish finish.

Finish

Long, creamy finish with notes of vanilla icing, custard and sugared almonds lingering on the tongue. The fruit pastille sweetness fades into warm spice and subtle oak, leaving a delicate nutty nuance and a faint maritime hint as it slowly fades.
