- Description
- Scapa's 14-year-old was a brief offering by Chivas Brothers before the now-standard 16-year-old took its place, making this litre bottling a snapshot of the distillery's early 1990s profile. At 40% ABV, the spirit balances Scapa's signature lightness with the added maturity of an extra two years, revealing subtle orchard fruit, heather honey, and maritime minerality. A footnote in Orkney's whisky history, valued more for rarity than revolutionary character.
