I keep being impressed by Scapa. I'd been dying to try this one for a while, and...well, it was worth ordering a bottle when making my annual purchase of the whisky Advent calendar. This is peated, but not in the traditional sense - it spends time in a finishing cask that previously held heavily peated whisky. The nose is full and fruity - loads of orchard and stone fruits, rounded out with vanilla, a whiff of smoke, and a tiny hint of sea air. The palate enters with a bright, fresh fruitiness with vanilla creme, and then that smoke starts to creep in like fog rolling in off the water. It's very nicely balanced, and the Scapa fruit-vanilla-sea spray profile goes well with the light peat.
