Whisky or Whiskey

Insider knowledge: Scapa 16 Year Old whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Scapa 16 Year Old whiskey, as opposed to whisky.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

The nose is quite thick and rich with notes of honeycomb and toffee. There are some notes of dried peels and notes of marmalade with a malty texture. The palate is full-bodied with a silken delivery. Notes of heather roots and cut grasses, honeyed oak notes with winter spices; cinnamon and cloves. There are some acacia honey notes. The finish is long and developing with notes of dry oak and a gentle, weaving smoke.

User Reviews of the Scapa 16 Year Old

Scapa 16

What a disappointment. I wanted to enjoy this and initially the nose and flavour were as advertised - sweet, honeyish and a bit of spice in the finish. However, add a spot of water and the whole experience is spoiled with a rather bitter taste. It's only 40% so I suppose it's easy enough to drink neat but I'll be saving £30 and drinking Highland Park 12yo!

Great stuff!

DO NOT ADD WATER! Then it will be a great whisky for ralaxing evening sipping. The closest comparison to this noble dram is Oban 14yo.

Stunning Whisky

Fabulous unique whisky. Smooth and delicious.

Wonderful Apéritif

I enjoy this expression before dinner with some aged cheese, salami slices, and water crckers. No water needed! I give it an 89/100 as is. Higher ABV would bump it up a few points. Excellent dram!

Mr.Peter Forshaw

My son takes me to fish the river Findhorn each year ( lucky me ) and Scapa 16 is our truly special and celebratory 'end-of-day' dram. No fish? Who cares? It's worth going just for the Scapa.

Not worth the layout

Having enjoyed the 14 year old, I wondered if the 16 year old would live upto expectations. This is indeed a decent dram, but in the reviewers humble opinion is not worth the layout.

Dr William Makin

Being an eccentic I always drink whisky with food. Scapa is uniquely well suited to this experience because of her deeply penetrating taste but smooth somewhat non-scottish savour. For Sundays only perhaps. Bu what can these distillers buy more precious than the wares the sell?

Gone in 60 seconds

I have to admit, the box looks great. The nose is sweet and mellow - like the Jura 10yo. The palate is spicy, rich, again sweet and mellow with a strong hint of oak. The finish is dry, warm and full with oak. I have to mention that I usually really appreciate a dry, warm, oak and gently smoked finish. On the other hand the Scapa 16yo can't fulfill my 55 euro Single Malt expectations. To me this is more like a daily dram...
