Scapa 10 Years Old is an elegant Island single malt with a style that is more rounded and fruit-led than heavily smoky. Matured in American oak and bottled at 48% ABV, it combines vanilla, toffee and tropical fruit with a gentle oak backbone.
A different kind of Island whisky
Not every Island malt is built around peat. Scapa is known for a softer, more approachable profile, and this 10-year-old release shows that character clearly. Expect sweet oak, vanilla and caramel notes alongside exotic fruit and a clean, warming finish.

Why buy Scapa 10 Years Old?
This is a very easy bottle to recommend to whisky drinkers who enjoy Highland and Speyside malts but want to move into Island whisky without jumping straight into heavy smoke. The 48% strength gives it enough weight to remain interesting, while the American oak keeps the profile accessible.
It also offers good value for anyone building a varied single malt collection. Scapa is a respected distillery but appears less frequently on shelves than many bigger names, so a 10-year-old official release makes a useful addition to a collection built around diversity rather than familiarity.
