We are thrilled to open the doors of the new Scapa Noust tasting destination at our Scapa Distillery. 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.” Almost 20 years after clear distilled barley spirit began flowing through the four Bowmore stills, the Isle of Orkney saw its own distillery rise from the treeless landscape. Highland Park Distillery heavy on the Norse mythology in their bottle design, marketing, and language: “Viking Honour”, “Viking Heart” and “Viking Pride” are amongst some of their age stated bottling taglines. It’s a really attractive angle too, when thinking about the fractious history of the Orcadian people that flows through this distillery and into the spirit of the gods. 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. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

Andrew Dane officially opened the Masterton Bond with chairman Mark Hunter yesterday as the company, which owns the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, declared it would bring about a “real step change” in its supply-chain performance. 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. The Scapa Noust encompasses the contrast of wild and calm: being both surrounded by the harsh elements and cliff edge lapped by the sea, while also inside an oasis of tranquillity as a nod to the welcoming warmth of the Orcadian community. Scapa Distillery Reserve CollectionOur November and December opening hours are as follows: Tuesday - Thursday 12:30-18:00, Friday - Saturday 12:30 - 19:00.
