The distillery stands out among the hills of Orkney, in Scotland, on the bank of the Scapa river. Here, since 1885, a historic Lomond still is used in its original form, allowing it to produce an oily and decisive spirit.
Lighter than the nearby Highland Park (which has stolen the title of the most northern Scottish distillery), the single malt produced by Scapa is always a close reflection of the grain, which expresses fruity notes (pear), hints of salt on the palate and a creamy final.
His single malt is mainly used for the Ballantine's blends.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
