- Description
- Scapa's October 1993 distillation aged 14 years in refill hogshead 3888, bottled in December 2007 as part of Douglas Laing's Old Malt Cask range. This Orkney single malt displays the distillery's signature briny, maritime quality with restrained smoke and subtle heather notes. The refill wood keeps the spirit centre-stage, allowing Scapa's distinctive character to develop without heavy oak influence. A period piece from the 1990s—rare and worth pursuing for collectors of Orkney whisky.
