Scapa The Orcadian Skiren 40% ABV, 0.7l in a gift box

Scapa The Orcadian Skiren is a characterful single malt Scotch whisky from the Orkney Islands, prized for its maritime elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. The Scapa Distillery, one of Scotland’s northernmost distilleries, has been producing whisky in small batches since 1885 and is renowned for its particularly smooth, fruity and approachable whiskies. With the ‘Skiren’, Scapa pays homage to the northern light – named after the Old Norse word for ‘shining, bright’ – bringing it to market. This whisky impressively reflects the clarity and purity of the region.

Scapa Skiren is matured exclusively in first-fill American oak barrels – that is, in fresh ex-bourbon casks – which gives it its smooth texture, delicate vanilla notes and a light honeyed sweetness. Its 40% ABV makes it pleasantly approachable without compromising on complexity. As a non-peated representative of the island region, Scapa Whisky differs markedly from the style of other Orcadian whiskies and offers a crisp, fruit-forward alternative.

The elegant gift box emphasises the quality of this single malt, making it a popular choice for connoisseurs, collectors or as a special gift.

Whether as a stylish dram to round off a meal or as part of a guided tasting session, the Scapa Skiren impresses with its clean Linie – a genuine island whisky with a soft heart and a maritime soul.
