SCAPA DISTILLERY

The second Orkney distillery, Scapa, was created in 1885 but went through a deep crisis in the 1990s and almost closed down... Fortunately, this never happened and facts proved that there was indeed room for two great whisky names in Kirkwall. The tour takes in the entire production site and its magnificent surroundings, before tasting a 14 year old dram, less peaty than most single island malts but radiantly fruity and spicy. Those under 18 have no access to guided tours.
