Scapa

Scapa distillery opened in 1885 with the intention of catering to the growing blended whisky market at that time and operated for a century and as many other distilleries also went through some ownership changes. It was silent for about 2 years from 1934 and was rebuilt in 1959. It was once considered to have the longest fermentation period of 120 hours which has since been reduced to about 70ish hours or so. Their unique Lomond style stills (barrel shaped neck) was originally designed in the 1950s but has undergone some design changes since then.

Glansa is an adjective meaning shining storm-laden skies in Old Norse - a reference to the temperamental weather on the island. The original signature smooth fruity single malt aged in American Oak has been further rested in peated casks resulting in rich notes of warm heather honey, soft fruits giving way to a subtle smoky finish. (Tasting Notes from the Producer) For now it is the first peated release from this Orcadian distillery.
