Scapa Skiren Single Malt Scotch Whisky with Gift Box, 700ml

Product Information

Not only are new distilleries cropping up here, there and everywhere on the Scottish mainland, but more and more are being established on islands too, which is a bit risky —you’d think — given how remote and distant from most logistics, supply, and tourism networks they are.

I thought, because I’m stupid, that “The Orcadian” was some sort of musical instrument. Like an accordion.

What happened to the 12 and 16? The good stuff?! Where is it? This isn't it, and Scapa needs to get their shit together. I know they can do better than this. Island distilleries are not a new thing. The oldest producing distillery in Scotland, after Glenturret, is the Isle of Islay’s premiumised Bowmore, established in 1779. Most Scottish islands now have a distillery producing, or about to produce, the Uisge Beatha, from Islay to its nearest compatriot Jura, hopping over the Kintyre Peninsula to Arran, up the western Hebridean coastline via the Isles of Mull and Skye, Lewis and Harris. These are beautiful, evocative places filled with stoic islanders immovably anchored to their place and their people.
