Single Malt
Scotland
1 Aug 2016
American oak cask matured Scapa single malt Scotch whisky finished in casks that previously held smoky, peated whisky! Scapa describe Glansa as a gentle introduction to the world of peated whisky.
Fruity sweet notes of soft peach, pineapple, vanilla intermingled with subtle bonfire smoke.
Peach and ripe flavours and creamy caramel toffee and vanilla balanced perfectly with soft smoke.
Very long with a markedly smoky finish.
Not especially smoky or peaty, but the dark colour and flavour are very distinctive. It's my second favourite after the Skiren.
Nice, a bit bourbony ( if that’s a word). I must be missing something because I don’t get a lot of peat. If there was an option for halfs, would give it 3.5.
Absolutely amazing
Fresh and clear. Among my favourites, but slightly overpriced. I enjoyed the visit at the distillery.
A Great Scotch
