70cl / 40%
The initially controversial 16yo official expression of Scapa is now winning people round with a jump in quality after a few wobbly years following the rapid transition from the much-loved 12yo via the short-lived 14yo. Orkney's less shouted about (but still lovely in its own way) malt whisky has found its feet.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE | Like stepping out on deck during a sea crossing – maritime, sea spray, ozone! Very clean and fresh. |
PALATE | Fresh and fruity, with good weight, that sea spray lurking around, and a touch of smoke, too. |
FINISH | Fresh and zingy. Refreshing. |
