Scapa 16 yo 1993/2009
Distillery Labels, Gordon & Macphail
Single malt - Islands
Pale green gold
40% ABV
Sampler
Nose: Peanuts, malty beer, leather, cooked rice, raisins, hints of fried onions.
Mouthfeel: Light body, watery, loose, airy.
Tasting: Salty sour. Grapefruit, leather, lemons, malty beer, cooked rice, chocolate, hints of fried onions.
Finish: Short. Grapefruit, cooked rice, lemons, malty beer.
Comments:
Quite salty and tart, loose and light. I think this whisky would have been better bottled at a higher strength. It's got a nice bitter sour grapefruity note that is quite refreshing. Excellent on ice, but you have to drink it quick - it doesn't dilute well.
Verdict:
I like this.
