Scapa

frae the Isle o' Orkney

the standard bottlin' was 8 yr auld... then 12... noo it is 14 yr auld...

an a guid thing tae... the 8 wuz tae raw... 12 wuz nice... but 14 is guid!

the 14 yr auld won Loch Fyne Whiskies bottlin' o' the year 2005!

tastin' notes...

nose o' tropical fruits, toffee, bananas an marmalade...wee straw note ...

taste is subtle... burnt toffee sweet- but subtle... wee bit sour an salty- ya can taste the sea... subtly... the overa' taste is o' vanilla and a wee bit o' hay arr straw....

nice mellow dram... lang finish in your mooth...
