our tasting notes
Nose
Runny honey and fresh cream. Hints of apple and a touch of anise. Maybe some crushed nuts, too... Classic Scapa apples – waxy green, toffee-covered and apple pie. With them comes a touch of sea spray, with both brine and a gently medicinal hint, some almost rye-whiskey-like spice and a hint of mint.
Taste
Continued honey warmth and richness. Sparks of juicy pear and lemon peel. Touches of oak develop further on, bringing some balancing spice. Soft and sweet, with brown-sugar-dusted buttery shortbread, a core of dried and candied apple slices, ground spice, and an autumnal surround of damp forests.
Finish
Medium length and a bit sweet, with oak lasting too. Apple skin, Ryvita and green leaves, with soft brown sugar.

The Skiren single malt was added to their range in 2015 and while it boasts Scapa’s distinctive modern branding, its is a whisky is rooted in the areas proud history and traditions.
