- Description
- Distilled in October 1993 and aged for 15 years in a refill hogshead, this Scapa from the Orkney Islands was released by Douglas Laing as one of just 307 bottles in their Old Malt Cask series. The refill cask allows the distillery's signature character—maritime and subtly oily—to develop without heavy wood influence.
