Orkney's Scapa distillery presents a 16-year-old single malt in a rather charming bottle, we think you'll agree! Matured in American oak, this Orcadian whisky boasts a rich, fruit-forward profile, layered with creamy vanilla and mulled spices.
Tropical notes of mangoes and vanilla cream join sweet, zesty citrus and gentle leathery oak.
Creamy and soft, with layers of poached orchard fruit and dustings of spice, pineapple upside-down cake, with wintery spices in tow.
Spiced malt biscuits, baked fruit, vanilla fudge.
Agree with the original post, I’m happily working my way through the world of whiskey advent calendar and this is the best one so far, if it really is the 16 year old. The nose is beautifully rich and finish incredibly smooth.
#18 of the wee drams in the 2025 advent calendar. And my favourite so far, despite being an Islay lover. Gorgeous. Toffee and apricot, and really smooth. Might need to put the boat out for a full bottle, the price notwithstanding.
