Jacques-Henri Brive, head of brand experience and advocacy at Chivas Brothers, said: "We are thrilled to open the doors of the new Scapa Noust tasting destination at our Scapa Distillery. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.Excerpt: The palate gives a flavor of chocolate, before settling into very malty territory, with some bitter oak an cloves. Perfectly fine, accessible malt whiskey. 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. Designed by a local Orcadian architect Mark Fresson, with interiors by Florian Dussopt, the tasting room pays homage to the traditions and crafts of the Orkney islands. The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein.

The Scapa whisky distillery had been distilling since long before, having been founded by Macfarlane and Townsend in 1885. The little huddle of buildings lies just outside of Kirkwall at Scapa Bay, and the distillery draws its waters from the Lingro Burn. Scapa distillery is decidedly small with a total capacity of one million litres annually, though the distillery runs at roughly one third of this with a staff of just three, working three days weekly. Hiram Walker acquired the distillery in 1954 and installed a Lomond still a few years later to replace the wash still. The Lomond still is a comparatively recent innovation and produces a heavier, oilier spirit. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Orkney is a special place, perfect for those wanting to absorb rich local history and culture and experience the wild beauty of the Orcadian archipelagos. The stunning Scapa Noust offers an incomparable experience for whisky fans and adventure seekers alike”. Excerpt: More peaches on the palate, with tinned pear and a little honey. Tingling spices in the drying finish, which soon becomes quite bitter – detracting from the overall balance.Inside the Scapa Noust, there are nautical design touches from the local area as a reminder of the area’s history, including a traditional naval radio desk donated by a local Orcadian, as well as a helmet which is over 100 years old and was used by the British navy up until the 1970s. Excerpt: It’s really fine, and stands the lower strength. I quite like this feeling of salted pastry.

Excerpt: The taste is rich, buttery, and fruity with notes of peaches, pears, subtle spice, and hints of vanilla and lemon zest. The finish is long, fruity, and light. I thought, because I’m stupid, that “The Orcadian” was some sort of musical instrument. Like an accordion. It was only once I engaged first gear that I made the connection to Orkney and her people: underneath the nicely integrated Scapa branding (with wee silver sailboat making up the “A” in the middle) is “The Orcadian”. Welcoming whi s ky fans, the tasting room will offer an immersive experiences for those looking to taste exceptional whisky in a spectacular destination, including The Cask Finished Edition, Scapa 19-Year-Old Pedro Ximénez hogshead finish, which launches as the newest addition to the Scapa Distillery Reserve Collection. The Scapa Noust Tasting Room and experience

The team are so proud to have brought this vision to life, designing a space with a modern and fresh interior, whilst simultaneously honouring the rich traditions of Orkney that make Scapa whisky what it is. Excerpt: Really unremarkable showing from Scapa here. 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.

The bay of Scapa Flow lies with the Orkney Mainland to the North and South Ronaldsay and Hoy to the East and West respectively. The bay is of considerable historic significance, having been a naval base for the British fleet during both World Wars. During the First World War, the Grand Fleet employed the bay as their Northern base and during the Second World War a German U-Boat entered the bay and subsequently sank the HMS Royal Oak. The approved planning application for the mixed-use development at 20 Haymarket Yards, granted subject to conditions, includes the demolition of the low-rise Elgin House office building, close to Haymarket Station and the tram link.
