Slightly phenolic, smoky, maritime pleasure, sea mist

some caramel, pepper and salt, tarry

Vichyssoise is the perfect palate cleanser for Scapa

Medium
Assertive...delicious
Soft but confident
Tangy - Northern Island (Orkney) feels tastier than it's rival Highland Park 12
A little fruity...a little dry
Better pull than HP 12 but not quite at HP 18

Golden Amber
Ginger, Lemongrass

Starts off smooth and then gets a little caliente

From honey to cayenne, this is a full spectrum expression that should be more readily available in North America.

Not much of a nose. Grassy.
Honeydew melon
Short finish
I want to be pounded in the face with smoke. Motorboating of melons.

Oily, with some lemongrass and sugar
Honey with just enough spice to create gelatenous lusciousness
Unreal, succulent.
The experience to me is what I perceive the Autobahn to be like... so much fun let's do it again... but mild mannered... stay in your lane 🙂

Really enjoyable, could drink uncut.
