Customer review

SCAPA 2003 19 YEAR OLD

“Lovely, just lovely. I’ve been a huge fan of Scapa ever since trying one of the mid-teens bottlings 10 years ago, and also love when Ballantines produced their heightened Scapa-based expressions. But this is beyond belief. Lovely Scapa minerality and tart apple nose, and so so well balanced.”
