ScapaGlansa The Orcadian

Scapa Glansa The Orcadian is a single malt whisky hailing from the Orkney Islands in Scotland. This expression is known for its unique character, which is achieved through a combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovative finishing techniques. The whisky is initially matured in American oak casks before being finished in casks that previously held peated whisky, imparting a subtle smokiness to its profile.

On the nose, this whisky offers a delicate balance of sweet and smoky aromas. Hints of honey and vanilla are complemented by a gentle waft of peat smoke, creating an inviting and complex bouquet. The palate follows through with a harmonious blend of flavors, where the sweetness of caramel and toffee meets the soft, smoky undertones, making for a well-rounded and enjoyable sipping experience.

The finish is smooth and lingering, with the smoky notes gradually fading to reveal a touch of oak and a hint of sea salt, a nod to its coastal origins. Scapa Glansa The Orcadian is an excellent choice for those looking to explore the world of lightly peated whiskies, offering a nuanced and approachable introduction to this style.
