Description
Scapa's 1988 vintage, matured for 34 years in a single bourbon barrel, captures three decades of the Orkney distillery's elegant, maritime character. Expect orchard fruits, heather honey, and subtle brine with a creamy, integrated texture from extended wood contact. The finish is long and saline, a testament to patient cask ageing. This is a milestone dram for Scapa enthusiasts and those seeking rare Island single malts with proven provenance.
