Scapa 2008 Reserve Collection 10 Year Old 50cl / Single Cask Edition

Scapa distillery was the third to be constructed on Orkney, preceded by Highland Park and Stromness, although out-lasting the latter. It was built in 1885, and its early history was blighted with fires and closures. It was bought by Canadian giants, Hiram Walker, in 1954. As with several of their other distilleries, they experimented with the use of Lomond stills, installing Scapa's in 1959. Although it was decommissioned 20 years later, the still itself continues to be used, now without the rectifying plates. It is the only one of this type still producing Scotch whisky. Its single malt has been bottled since the 1970s, first under license by Gordon & MacPhail, with a 10 year old distillery bottling then launched in the 1980s. Scapa has since passed through the hands of Allied Distillers and is now part of the Pernod-Ricard portfolio.

The Reserve Collection was created to replace the Cask Strength series of bottlings from Chivas Brothers. These Single Cask editions are only available at Chivas Brothers distilleries.

This Scapa was distilled on 17th December 2008 and bottled from a single first fill barrel on the 29th May 2019. Taken from cask #2681, this is one of 348 bottles.
