Scapa Whisky

   

Scapa Whisky

The bay of Scapa Flow lies with the Orkney Mainland to the North and South Ronaldsay and Hoy to the East and West respectively. The bay is of considerable historic significance, having been a naval base for the British fleet during both World Wars. During the First World War, the Grand Fleet employed the bay as their Northern base and during the Second World War a German U-Boat entered the bay and subsequently sank the HMS Royal Oak.

The Scapa whisky distillery had been distilling since long before, having been founded by Macfarlane and Townsend in 1885. The little huddle of buildings lies just outside of Kirkwall at Scapa Bay, and the distillery draws its waters from the Lingro Burn. Scapa distillery is decidedly small with a total capacity of one million litres annually, though the distillery runs at roughly one third of this with a staff of just three, working three days weekly. Hiram Walker acquired the distillery in 1954 and installed a Lomond still a few years later to replace the wash still. The Lomond still is a comparatively recent innovation and produces a heavier, oilier spirit.

During the 1970s, Scapa was renovated and modernized. Malt whisky from Scapa has long since been used as a blending component and it is notably used in Ballantines blends. Despite this, single malt whisky from the distillery is highly prized and under its new owners, Chivas Brothers, Scapa is being marketed as a premium product. The distillery was mothballed in 1994 and did not reopen until a decade later, though during its closure staff from nearby Highland Park ran the distillery for a few months.

Batch numbers may vary Honey and tropical fruitScapa Skiren is truly a unique, handcrafted Island malt whisky, made on the main island of the Orkney archipelago in the far north of Scotland. Scapa is one of the last manually operated distilleries in Scotland, with only a single pair of stills distilling all their whisky. This way, they stay true to the tradition of producing the small, handcrafted Island malt whisky.Scapa Skiren single malt is aged exclusively in first fill American oak casks, which gives the whisky its soft and sweet fruity flavor. It's a flavor you wouldn't normally expect from an Island malt, with a long, refreshing finish. Skiren means 'sparkling clear sky' in Old Norse - a name this whisky certainly deserves. TASTING NOTES SMELL: Delicately fragrant floral aromas with a hint of fresh pear. Sweet and fruity pineapple notes with an unexpected citrus edge. TASTE: Soft and sweet, ripe honeydew melon with a hint of ripe pear and temptingly sweet lemon sorbet. AFTERTASTE: Long and refreshing with sparkling sweetness.
