Scapa 10 Year Old Orkney Single Malt Whisky
A Distinctive Taste of Orkney
Scapa 10 Year Old Orkney is a sophisticated single malt Scotch whisky that captures the distinctive character of its island home. Produced at the Scapa distillery on the shores of Scapa Flow, this 10-year-old expression combines elegant fruit flavours with rich, warming sweetness and subtle oak spice. Bottled at 48% ABV, it offers a beautifully concentrated drinking experience while retaining the approachable character that makes Scapa Single Malt Whisky so appealing.
The whisky matures in carefully selected ex-American oak casks, allowing the spirit to develop layers of tropical fruit, vanilla, spice and creamy sweetness over a decade. As a result, Scapa 10 Year Old delivers a refined balance between vibrant fruit and indulgent dessert-like notes. Furthermore, the influence of the oak adds depth without overpowering the natural character of the malt.
Nose – Tropical Fruit and Sweet Spice
On the nose, Scapa 10 Year Old immediately reveals enticing aromas of freshly sliced pineapple and mango ice cream. These bright tropical notes gradually develop into richer aromas of crème brûlée, honey-topped pancakes and warm cinnamon buns. Meanwhile, a delicate touch of citrus peel adds freshness and helps balance the sweeter aromas.
Palate – Creamy, Fruity and Warming
The palate continues the whisky’s fruit-forward character, with flavours of stewed apple combined with warming spices and smooth vanilla custard. Alongside these comforting flavours, lighter notes of ripe banana, charred oak and milk chocolate create additional complexity. Consequently, each sip offers a combination of fruity sweetness, creamy richness and gentle oak influence.
Finish – Fruity and Spiced
The finish is fruity and pleasantly spiced, leaving behind lingering impressions of orchard fruit and warming oak spice. Its 48% ABV gives the whisky enough weight and intensity to stand up to careful sipping, while a small addition of water can reveal further layers of its character.
Crafted on the Shores of Scapa Flow
From milling and mashing through to fermentation and distillation, every stage of Scapa production receives close attention from its artisans. The distillery’s small, manually operated character reflects its remote Orkney environment. Moreover, the surrounding landscape and maritime setting play an important role in shaping the identity of this distinctive island single malt.
