Scapa Skiren

Scapa is Orkney’s other distillery, less well known than Highland Park and with an unpeated style. Skiren matures in first-fill bourbon casks, according to the brand, and is fresh and fruity: citrus, pear, honey and a touch of vanilla and salt. It is a delicate, bright island malt. Its availability can be irregular, because the distillery’s range has changed in recent years.
