This bottling of a 12-year-old Scapa single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was the standard bottling of the distillery from around the year 2000.
The distillery is located on the island of Orkney directly on Scapa Flow. Founded in 1885, it has always been in the shadow of the neighbouring distillery Highland Park. The water used at Lingro Nurn is already so peaty that only unpeated malt is used. In 1994, the distillery was shut down for 10 years, but since November 2004 it has been in production again. Only ex-Bourbon barrels are used for storage.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
