It’s completely unpeated, hugely fruity and 100% matured in American oak. Scapa has one of the smallest distillery setups in Scotland and it’s a thoroughly hands-on process. To bog down in the whisky geek side of things for a minute, the state-of-the-art equipment has everything pointing towards a fruity new make spirit: long fermentation, stainless steel washbacks, a Lomond wash still, horizontal lyne arms, and shell and tube condensers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with a full, 16 year American Oak maturation on the Orkney Island coast and you’ve got an overflow of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ejuicy mangoes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evanilla cream\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebaked pineapple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emulled spices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.

We’re so, so happy that Scapa are bringing this tropical fruit bomb back for the first time in nearly a decade; AND they’ve bumped the ABV up to 48% so there’s more flavour than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHype is so high on this launch that bottles are already being snuck into the country and selling for $270… but we’ve got your back.
