- Description
- Scapa Glansa combines American oak maturation with a finishing period in ex-peated-whisky casks, resulting in a rare lightly smoky expression from this typically unpeated distillery. The interplay between creamy bourbon-barrel vanilla and caramel against soft peat smoke creates a nuanced, fruity profile with peach and orchard notes. An ideal entry point for those new to Scapa or curious about light smoke in an Island context.
