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.

The Scapa Noust tasting room is open to the public from 4 April 2023. With a new direct connection from London City Airport to Orkney launching this summer, it is now even easier for tourists to discover all that Orkney has to offer. 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.There are also examples of locally crafted and rare Orcadian basket weave inside (Image: Scapa Distillery) 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 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.

Island distilleries are not a new thing. The oldest producing distillery in Scotland, after Glenturret, is the Isle of Islay’s premiumised Bowmore, established in 1779. Most Scottish islands now have a distillery producing, or about to produce, the Uisge Beatha, from Islay to its nearest compatriot Jura, hopping over the Kintyre Peninsula to Arran, up the western Hebridean coastline via the Isles of Mull and Skye, Lewis and Harris. These are beautiful, evocative places filled with stoic islanders immovably anchored to their place and their people. 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: The taste is rich, buttery, and fruity with notes of peaches, pears, subtle spice, and hints of vanilla and lemon zest.

It’s certainly not the first place I’d think of, if I ever were to think of starting a distillery. Islands are formidable places by default, owing to weather, tides, isolation. But even places like the Isles of Barra and North Uist are in the early stages of converting — or enhancing — their gin production to include whisky. The distinctive clifftop location overlooking the natural harbour of the Scapa Flow and dramatic Orcadian landscape makes the Scapa Noust a truly special location to taste whisky.
