| Review #384 |
The new (2015) addition to the Scapa range. It is
matured in first fill American white oak casks. These have been distilled in
their Lomond still, which is one of the only working Lomond still left in
Scotland, regarding Whisky distillation (Bruichladdich have one as well, where
they distil their Botanist Gin). First on my nose is citrus, followed by
vanilla and malted barley/new make notes.
Lot of citrus again in the taste. Slightly salty with
hints of burned oak. The full-bodied flavours (which ain´t many) dies fast in
the finish, and you are left with the citrusy notes. All the way through the
vanilla and honey lies in the background.
To be honest it seems a bit young and a bit boring.
Not very complex either. You can give it a drop of water, but be very careful
as it drowns easily. I miss the 16 year old… I will give this 81/100
(20/21/20/20).
