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.

Excellent, mild with lots of character.
There are batch numbers on the labels SK.. 05 .. the whisky is poor in the lower numbers but around 10 onward is much improved
I was expecting something more. Smooth, sweet, boring and forgettable. Perfectly drinkable though, especially by those who don't like peat.
Well, the skies have not glittered for me here, after initial layer wears off {and quickly}, remains are thin and lacklustre. Huge disappointment... Spend your coin on whatever else
I really liked that fact that this was a very light subtle whisky. Very easy to sip neat.
