Scapa Scotch Single Malt Skiren

Crafted by five dedicated artisans at the manually operated Scapa distillery, Scapa Skiren's smooth taste embodies the unexpected contrasts of the Orkney Islands, setting it apart from traditional Island Malts. A unique barrel-shaped Lomond wash still - the only remaining working Lomond in the Scotch whisky industry - is used for distillation, resulting in a richer and fruiter honeyed spirit. Exclusive maturation in First Fill American Oak casks gives Scapa Skiren a smooth creamy sweetness with a hint of tropical, citrus fruit and coastal heather, uncommon for an Island Single Malt but distinctly Scapa at its core.. There is a luscious nose of heather, savory herbs, caramel fondue, and American oak. Full and coating on the palate with baked vanilla bean, baked oranges, and honey biscuits before baking spice develops on the finish. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Finalist). Water/Malted Barley/Yeast; 40.00%. Neat/On the rocks. Scapa Skiren gets its name from the Old Norse for glittering bright skies and lights up the senses with its delicate scented floral flavours as well as fresh pear, sweet and fruity pineapple notes on the nose. The smooth and sweet taste of ripe honeydew melon slices as well as bursts of fruity pear contrast with the tantalising taste of sweet sherbet on the palate. The end result is a long refreshing sweetness, reminiscent of the summer Orcadian skies after which it is named. Liquor
