Clubhouse focus: Scapa distillery
Scapa is an Orkney distillery that is absolutely worth the pilgrimage. Just outside of Kirkwall on the Orkney Mainland overlooking Scapa Flow, Scapa is known for producing tropical, fruity island whisky. The distillery is steeped in and surrounded by history. Everything from Neolithic villages to scuttled war ships, Viking sagas and everything in between.
What can Members expect?
A short flight or a very long ferry will get you to Orkney. Kirkwall, the capital is as picturesque a Scottish seaside town as you will get. Home to 3 distilleries, this is a place for whisky. A drive up Old Scapa Road will lead you to this clifftop beauty of a distillery. A new distillery tasting room overlooks the beach and is the perfect place to start or finish any visit to the distillery.
Scapa operates a free shuttle service for Members booked on a tour. Must be booked 24 hours in advance.
As Members of The Whisky Club you will receive 20% off the following tour tickets. Just use the code WHISKYCLUBHOUSE20 at checkout online. In addition, you can show your Membership card at the distillery for 10% off in the cellar door.
