was silent for two years from 1934 and was rebuilt in 1959 with the floor maltings ceasing production a few years later. Further internal improvementswere made in 1978 including the installation of a Lomond type still.

Scapa 25 year old Vintage Malt Whisky 1980 54%

Founded in 1885 by Macfarlane and Townsend

Location Island region, Orkney Islands

Water source Lingro Burn

Scapa Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in Orkney.

Distillery bottling. One of only 2000 bottles in total.

Tasting Notes...
First smell and taste this 25 year old at 54% cask strength.


Ideally use a nosing glass or another glass with a “bulb” in order to collect the complex aromas.


Then add a touch of water, just a little to allow it to breathe, and allowing the complexity to surface. This will release new aromas, amongst which you should detect flowers and nuts alongside luscious fruit then quietly sip and contemplate the spirit.





Presented in a special cylinder wood effect case.
Limited edition of 2000 individual numbered bottle

Scapa 11 year old 1993 46% Orkney Single Malt Whisky

2 Barrel Bottling Distilled Autumn 1993 Bottled Spring 2005
Un-chill filtered Provenance bottling by Douglas Laing

Tasting Note

With an immediately appealing nose of lemons, other sweet citrus zest and fresh herbs, the palate follows being equally zesty, but it also carries a distinct nuttiness and a peaty quality. The finish is initially herbal, smooth and cleansing: and runs to something rich, sweet and smoky (FL)
