点评:My wife & I were last in Orkney in March 2023 when I went to a tasting at the Northern most distillery. I was also given a leave pass to go to Scapa to sample their wares, however I ran out of time.
This time my wife, youngest daughter (no longer in the twenties) & myself found some time in Sept 24 for a quick visit (finally got around to writing a review).
On entry to the welcoming area we were greeted by Adrian who soon had us in fits of laughter with some of his tales. W hadn't booked a tour, however Adrian showed me a list of tastings available. I remember that I tried the 'Land' series (2024 Scapa 11yr old, 2023 Scapa 13yr old PC finish & a 2019 Longmorn 20yr old) , & it was extremely well priced. Adrian was unable to take the tasting as he was to start a tour, though he did manage to grab Kris to instruct us.
I was the only one sampling, but his knowledge & stories of his past captivated my wife & daughter. Kris has a very good knowledge of the distillery & it's Single Malts & his passion for Scapa shows.
If you ever get to Orkney, you must stop in at Scapa, I can't recommend it enough.

翻译:我和妻子最后一次去奥克尼是在 2023 年 3 月,当时我去最北边的酿酒厂品酒。我还获得了去斯卡帕品尝他们的产品的许可,但我没有时间。
这次,我妻子、最小的女儿(不再是 20 多岁)和我自己在 9 月 24 日抽出一些时间进行了短暂的访问(终于有时间写评论了)。
进入迎宾区时,Adrian 向我们致意,他很快就用他的一些故事逗得我们笑个不停。我们没有预订旅游,但 Adrian 向我展示了一份可品尝的酒单。我记得我尝试了“Land”系列(2024 年斯卡帕 11 年陈酿、2023 年斯卡帕 13 年 PC 完成品酒和 2019 年 Longmorn 20 年陈酿),价格非常合理。由于要开始参观,Adrian 无法参加品酒会,但他设法让 Kris 来指导我们。
我是唯一一个品尝的人,但他的知识和过去的故事吸引了我的妻子和女儿。Kris 对酿酒厂及其单一麦芽威士忌非常了解,他对 Scapa 的热情也得到了充分的展现。
如果你有机会去奥克尼,一定要在 Scapa 停留,我强烈推荐。
