Scapa The Orcadian Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL

Scapa The Orcadian (Skiren) is a smooth, honeyed island single malt from the Scapa distillery on Orkney, matured exclusively in first-fill American oak.

Scapa sits on the shores of Scapa Flow, the second most northerly distillery in Scotland. Unlike many island malts, it is unpeated — favoring fruit, floral notes, and honeyed malt over smoke. Distilled in the only working Lomond wash still in the industry and aged in first-fill American oak, "Skiren" (Old Norse for glittering bright skies) is a creamy, approachable Orkney whisky.
