Product description
Scapa 16 Year Old is the heart of the Scapa Single Malt collection, where the character of spices is complemented by notes of fruit in a harmonious symphony. It is made at the Scapa Distillery overlooking the historic Scapa Flow Bay. The distillery has one fermentation tank and one distillation tank, allowing for careful monitoring of each stage of production. All stages of production are overseen by craftsmen, ensuring the high quality of the final product. The name "Scapa" comes from the Norse word for "boat". Norse is an old Viking language and the traditional language spoken on the island of Orkney, off the northern coast of Scotland.
Founded in 1885, overlooking the tranquil but historically significant Scapa Flow, Scapa Distillery is one of Scotland’s most northerly distilleries. Located on Mainland, Orkney at 58.9632° N, 2.9853° W, Scapa is a haven of untamed natural beauty amidst the island’s untamed North Sea. Inspired by the distillery’s tranquil surroundings, they have developed a deliberately slow and precise production process.
