Description

Scapa Glansa is the first peated single malt expression from the Scapa Distillery, located on the Orkney Islands. Released in 2016, its name 'Glansa' means 'storm-laden skies' in Old Norse, reflecting the dramatic contrasts of its island home. This no-age-statement whisky is initially matured in first-fill American oak casks before being finished in casks that previously held heavily peated malt whisky, imparting a subtle smokiness to Scapa's signature smooth, honeyed profile. It is described as a gentle introduction to peated whiskies.

Nose
Fruity sweet notes of soft peach, pineapple, vanilla, and subtle bonfire smoke. Tangy citrus fruits and orchard fruits. Hints of lime, toffee, meadow flowers, and a little dusty note.
Palate
Medium-bodied, with fruity notes of peach and pineapple, vanilla, ginger, caramel, and a soft smoky undertone. Creamy mouthfeel, with vanilla fudge, bready malt, apple, citrus, and subtle pepper.
Finish
Long creamy smoky finish. Good persistence, with notes of citrus zest, vanilla, pepper, and honey, accompanied by a light lingering smoke. Dry yet fruity, with a light dusting of spice and a definite peatiness.
