Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 50.6%
A single cask 1988 Scapa bottled in 2020 as a 32-year-old without colouring or chill filtration by Gordon & MacPhail for their Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range.
This 32-year-old Scapa 1988 came from a single refill bourbon cask (#310 for those interested in the minutiae) yielding 146 bottles at its natural cask strength of 50.6%.
Long-aged Scapa is so scarce now as production was very sporadic in the 1990s and Noughties, so it's wonderful to see a cask strength Scapa at this grand old age - particularly from a refill bourbon cask that should let the spirit sing. This should be absolutely amazing.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
