Scapa Skiren is a single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Scapa Distillery on the Orkney Islands in Scotland. It was first launched in 2015 and is a non-age-statement expression.
The Skiren expression is made using malted barley that has been dried with a mixture of peat and heather. This gives the whisky a distinct smoky character, which is unusual for the Scapa distillery, as their whiskies are usually known for their light and fruity character.
The whisky is aged in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in casks that previously held sweet white wine. This gives the whisky a subtle sweetness and a more complex and delicate flavor profile. The finish in the casks also gives it a pale gold color.
Skiren is described as having notes of honey, heather, floral, and smoke, with a smooth and creamy texture. It's recommended to be enjoyed neat or with a small amount of water, to appreciate the distinct smoky and sweet notes of this unique expression.

About The Brand: Scapa
A Scotch whiskey distillery called Scapa is located close to the town of Kirkwall on the mainland of Orkney, Scotland. A half-mile (800 meters) south of the Highland Park Distillery, Scapa is Scotland's second-northest whiskey distillery. The distillery was started in 1885 by Glasgow blenders Macfarlane & Townsend. When a fire nearly destroyed the distillery in 1919, adjacent sailors from the remnant Grand Fleet formed a human chain and carried buckets of sea water to put it out. The distillery was purchased and renovated in 1954 by Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd, which is currently a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. In 1978, the distillery underwent another renovation. The distillery was put on hold in 1994, and employees from the neighbouring Highland Park distillery began carrying out limited production on occasion starting in 1997. When Allied Distillers acquired Hiram Walker in 1987, ownership of the distillery was transferred to them. In 2004, with the facility facing definite closure, the firm made the decision to repair and restore the distillery at a cost of £2.1 million. Pernod Ricard acquired control in 2005, and in October of that year, full production resumed. The distillery's tourist center debuted in 2015.
