Scapa Skiren

Scotland, September 2017. Distillery tasting (from notes) Nose: Sweet with thin honey and light malty cereal aromas almost like buttered popcorn. Fruity notes are evident, mainly orchard fruits (apples, pears, peaches), plus a filament of vanilla sewing it all together. Not a particularly complex nose, and quite light, but enjoyable. [The dry glass has an aroma of honey, almost like mead]. Palate: Silky soft and smooth on the arrival – so smooth – light and airy like a lemon soufflé. A light and not particularly rich texture. More honey, and slightly heavier fruity notes in the development. Apples, pears, apricots. Finish: Short, but not abrupt. The light sweetness that is prominent throughout carries on until the end and there is a touch of spice. This has a dainty character. It is sweet and fragrantly fruity but and does not come across as cloying. It's the sweetness of light fruit juice, not syrup. This would be an agreeable, light, everyday dram if it were more reasonably priced, but as it is it's not particularly good value. "Good" : 83/100 (3.5 stars)
