About this whisky
Scapa Glansa is the Orkney distillery’s delicate dance between gentle island sweetness and a subtle touch of smoke. Finished in casks that once held peated whisky, it offers a new dimension to Scapa’s signature unpeated style, like a sea breeze carrying just a hint of bonfire. This Batch GL01 Limited Release is a rare glimpse into the distillery’s experimental side.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Profile:
Nose: Honeyed malt, ripe pear, and soft vanilla, wrapped in a gentle wisp of coastal smoke.
Palate: Smooth and layered, with toffee sweetness, orchard fruits, and a subtle undercurrent of smoky oak.
Finish: Medium and elegant, fading with light spice, sweet malt, and a whisper of peat.
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat to appreciate the delicate smoke, or with a drop of water to open up more fruit and honey notes.
Product Details
Production Details:
Matured in first-fill American oak before being finished in casks that previously held peated whisky, adding a soft smoky edge to Scapa’s naturally sweet and fruity spirit. Bottled as a limited release, it represents a rare peated influence from a distillery best known for its unpeated style.
Background & Facts
Interesting Fact:
Scapa is one of the few Scottish distilleries to use a Lomond still for part of its distillation process, contributing to its signature smooth and fruity style.
Distillery Background:
Scapa is one of only two distilleries operating in Orkney, a remote archipelago off Scotland’s northern coast. Founded in 1885, it has built a reputation for producing soft, honeyed single malts with a distinctive maritime character. With its small scale production and hands on craftsmanship, Scapa remains a hidden gem for whisky lovers seeking elegance over intensity.
