It was produced by a team of six persons (including the Master Distiller) working in the small, manually operated Scapa distillery.

[10]If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Mouth: very soft, not to say watery. Mid-palate a nice fruitiness appears (more crisp apple and juicy pear) with lemon peels and a bit of honey and butterscotch sweetness. Then malty notes appear, as well as some plankish wood and green tea.

Yet they’re not particularly cheap. The Scapa whisky distillery had been distilling since long before, having been founded by Macfarlane and Townsend in 1885. The little huddle of buildings lies just outside of Kirkwall at Scapa Bay, and the distillery draws its waters from the Lingro Burn. Scapa distillery is decidedly small with a total capacity of one million litres annually, though the distillery runs at roughly one third of this with a staff of just three, working three days weekly. Hiram Walker acquired the distillery in 1954 and installed a Lomond still a few years later to replace the wash still. The Lomond still is a comparatively recent innovation and produces a heavier, oilier spirit.
