Scapa Islands Single Malt Whisky Miniature 1989 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with coppery highlights and a sunlit, honey-gold glow.

Nose

Soft sherry sweetness greets the nose—raisin, fig, and roasted almond layered with honeyed citrus and vanilla. A coastal breeze of sea salt and mineral notes lifts the scent, while gentle spice and a whisper of oak deepen the profile.

Palate

Silky and lightly oily, the palate opens with peach and pear, wrapped in creamy vanilla and sherry‑influenced toffee. Subtle spice and almond thread through cocoa notes, while a saline, maritime undercurrent lingers, finishing warm and long with refined sweetness.

Finish

Silky and long, the finish reveals rich sherry sweetness with dried fig, raisin and cacao, balanced by polished oak and a trace of orange rind. A gentle maritime lift lingers, fading to warm spice and soft, refined tannin.
