An independent bottling from the 1980s of Scapa's 8-year-old single malt, this Orkney expression captures the distillery's characteristic maritime and slightly oily signature, courtesy of its unorthodox Lomond still. The nose and palate carry hints of ocean spray and a waxy mouthfeel typical of Scapa's house style, with subtle orchard fruits beneath the brine-touched surface. Bottled by the esteemed Gordon & MacPhail in an era before cask strength became commonplace, this represents a gentler interpretation of the distillery. A nostalgic dram for those exploring how independent bottlers presented island malts four decades ago.
