Scapa is one of two distilleries in Kirkwall (Highland Park being the other), yet despite their proximity, their whiskies taste quite different. Scapa was built in 1885 by Macfarlane and Townsend - the later already a well known distiller on Speyside - and was bought by Hiram Walker in 1954. It is now owned by Allied Distillers who send most of its produce for blending, but also market the single largly througt duty-free outlets. The German fleet was scuttled there during the First World War.
Comment : Scapa is available mainly from independent bottlers and is a medium bodied malt with a dryish, heathery flavour which is complemented by a satisfyingly malty sweetness.
