Scapa 10Y is an excellent 10-year-old single malt Scotch whisky that reflects the heritage and unique natural conditions of Orkney.
Tasting Profile:
Nose: A distinctive floral aroma with hints of citrus that gradually transitions into a light waxiness.
Taste: Notes of fresh tropical fruit dominate, which are typical of Orkney's character. The fruit is accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and light woodiness from the American oak.
Finish: Fruity and spicy, long-lasting and harmonious.
Production process:
Scapa 10Y is produced using traditional methods. It is aged in American oak barrels that were originally used as first fill bourbon barrels. This type of cask gives the whisky a smooth, sweet and fruity flavour with a long fresh finish. Fermentation, which takes 160 hours, and the unusual shape of the still contribute to the unique flavour profile of this whisky.
History and origin:
Scapa is a small but significant Scottish distillery founded in 1885 near the town of Kirkwall on the picturesque Orkney archipelago. The distillery is renowned for its small team of master distillers who have carefully passed on their craft skills from generation to generation. There is only one pair of pot stills at Scapa Distillery, allowing the whiskies to be produced with exceptional care and attention to detail.
Located in the natural harbour of Scapa Flow, the Scapa Noust distillery offers visitors not only tastings but also the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of one of the last hand-operated distilleries in Scotland. It's a place where the beauty of Orkney's countryside is combined with the tradition of Scottish distilling.
Scapa 10Y is ideal for aficionados who appreciate a smooth and balanced flavour with a long finish. It is perfect as a gift for collectors or as a special addition to an evening with friends.
