Description

Scapa is the second most Northern distillery is Scotland, located on the Orkney Islands, near the town of Kirkwall, half a mile south from the Highland Park distillery. It was established in 1885, and now it is currently owned by Pernod Richard.

This expression of Scapa 10yr was aged for at least 10 years in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, and bottled at 43% alc/vol.
