Still working through my notes from last month's trip to Scotland; I tried this dram at Whiski Rooms in Edinburgh. For a long time, the only distillery of note on the isle of Orkney was the legendary Highland Park. Scapa is now giving it a go, making whisky on one of the most remote and northern islands in Scotland. Unlike Highland Park, Scapa doesn't seem to peat their whisky at all, which results in a slightly more traditional Highland style of single malt. There's plenty of honey and orchard fruit here, along with an underlying nuttiness that gives this a thicker mouthfeel than I'd expect for a 40% whisky. It's OK, nothing to write home about (although I suppose that's exactly what I'm doing).
