Scapa 16 Year Old is an unpeated single malt from the island of Orkney in Scotland, matured for sixteen years and bottled at 48%. The Scapa distillery is located on the shore of Scapa Flow, near Kirkwall, and together with neighbouring Highland Park is one of the two working distilleries on Orkney. Scapa is the second most northerly whisky distillery in Scotland, half a mile south of the Highland Park distillery.

The distillery was founded in 1885 and today belongs to Chivas Brothers, part of the Pernod Ricard group. Scapa single malt is created by a small team of craftsmen and a Master Distiller, using traditional methods perfected over generations, and the plant is one of the last manually operated distilleries, working around the clock. The distinguishing feature of production is the distillation apparatus. In the 1950s Scapa was fitted with a Lomond still by its then owners, Hiram Walker, though today it serves as an ordinary still for the first distillation, with the rectifying plates removed.

The character of this whisky is shaped by maturation in American oak. Scapa 16 Year Old is an unpeated Orkney whisky, matured in American oak, offering tropical fruit, vanilla, spice and maritime depth. The whisky forms the core of the age-statement collection. Scapa 16 Year Old is the flagship age-statement expression from the Scapa distillery on Scapa Flow on the Orkney mainland, the fruit of sixteen years of maturation mainly in American ex-bourbon oak.

Fruit and a delicate maritime note dominate the aroma and flavour profile. On the nose, tropical fruit, vanilla cream, citrus peel and soft oak. On the palate, richness and silkiness with baked apple, honeyed fruit, vanilla fudge and a subtle note of warm spices. The finish is long, warming and balanced, with fruit, spice and gentle oak. The style remains softer than in many other island single malts. Although the malt used to produce Scapa is peated, it is far less peaty than in some other island single malts.
