Scapa Single Orkney Malt Whisky (Old Bottling) (1 Litre) 12 Year Old
In stock
A much loved old discontinued expression from the other Orkney distillery, Scapa. Replaced briefly (and unsuccesfully) by a 14 year, an excellent 16 year followed before the distillery moved to NAS expressions.
This is a lovely unpeated drinking dram, smooth, easy going, malty and honeyed. Discontinued at the end of the 1990's this is something of a collector's piece now.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with honey-gold highlights.
Nose
Delicate maritime breeze entwines with a soft, honeyed malt, echoing gentle toffee and creamy vanilla. Subtle orchard fruits and toasted oak lend warmth, while a whisper of spice completes the inviting aroma.
Palate
Silky and unpeated, this 12-year-old glides across the palate with a gentle malty sweetness and honeyed glow. Creamy cereal notes mingle with vanilla and a touch of light oak, delivering a smooth, balanced mid-palate that leads to a soft, lingering honey finish.
Finish
Long and silky, the finish drapes honeyed malt in a warm, lingering sweetness. Gentle vanilla and delicate oak spice emerge, fading gracefully with a smooth, comforting glow on the palate.
