A 2015 addition to the Scapa range, the Skiren is a handsomely honey'd single malt Scotch whisky which has been distilled in the Scotch whisky industry's only remaining working Lomond Still! It was matured in first fill American oak casks, bringing plenty of vanilla and honey notes to the table. The name comes from the Old Norse word for "glittering bright skies"...
Runny honey and fresh cream. Hints of apple and a touch of anise. Maybe some crushed nuts, too...
Continued honey warmth and richness. Sparks of juicy pear and lemon peel. Touches of oak develop further on, bringing some balancing spice.
Medium length and a bit sweet, with oak lasting too.
Weak flavour with terrible aftertaste.
a delightful whisky with honeyed undertones and a light oakiness. Not a whisky for those who like big and bold, but tasty and light and an excellent value whisky
Balanced dram you can enjoy even on a budget. Excellent alternative for Auchentoshan as a light " late afternoon " dram
Nose: Flowery, with a chemical note. Body: Medium. Color: Blonde Flavors: Some salt, slight peat. I Don't really taste the oak. Slightly sweet. Impression: Not mature and should perhaps be casked in a different oak. Higher priced than it should be, but there are worse scotches out there.
Big fan of this scapa skiren, absolutely love the floral and honey taste! Definitely one I would buy again
