Scapa was founded in 1885 and used to be known as the only truly ‘unpeated’ Island malt. It was damaged by fire in 1919, but rebuilt. In 1959 a Lomond still was installed which ran as intended until 1979. Production ceased in 1994 with occasional runs being done by the crew from nearby Highland Park. In 2004, however it was released as single malt and a major refurbishment of the distillery began. The majority of the distillery’s production goes into blends including Ballantine’s.
Often described as the ‘other Orkney whisky’, Scapa is one of the two last distilleries using a Lomond still. Scappa’s still has had the rectifier plates removed to produce a classic pot still style of spirit. A purifier pipe increases reflux even further, and adds its usual oiliness.
This is a limited edition bottling. 249 bottles were released and represents the number of ships involved in the battle of Jutland in World War I.
