Founded in 1885 overlooking the calm historic “Scapa Flow”, Scapa is one of the northern most distilleries in Scotland, located at 58.9632° N, 2.9853° W in the Orkney Islands.

Scapa distillery is a peaceful haven amidst untamed natural island beauty and the North Sea. Inspired by its tranquil surroundings, the deliberately unhurried making process of our manually operated distillery allows our makers to capture the soul of Orkney in every drop of whisky.​

The Scapa Pairing Experience

An Excellent experience. Adrian was very engaging amd knowledgeable about the end to end process of making the Whisky.  The tasting room is by far the best part, not just for the Whisky,  but layout and aesthetics. Highly recommend a visit if your in Orkney.

Took me decades to get there - it was so worth it. Had a private tour with a personable young chap who originally hailed from Birmingham, but this did not detract from his product knowledge and great stories related to local history. The tasting in the Neuk was full of ambiance and character, matching the drams on offer. Having walked there via Scapa beach, I gratefully accepted a ride back to Kirkwall with the marketing manager as some weather was coming in off Scapa Flow, and I was likely to get drenched. The Scapa team are excellent and provide a clear synopsis of the great options available at their unique distillery.

Best tasting I had to this point, thank you Alex for having us and doing this great tasting through wind, rain and sunny weather. We will come back!

Excellente visite de la distillerie. Très bien accompagné par notre guide « Mac ». Très bon produit. Je retrouve enfin la marque de fabrique de Scapa que j’avais perdue dans leur dernière collection.

Last Monday, my family and I came to Scapa for a visit followed by a tasting, managed by Mac.

We all loved it. The tour was informative with a touch of humour, just what we love.
The tasting room won us all over. And the whiskies too 😄

Thanks again to Mac for this great time !

Visited with our tour group and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jim guided us through the facility, explaining the process and equipment used for the creation of their whisky. He was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor, encouraging questions. The tasting was first-class, well-organized and beautifully displayed. Highly recommended.

SCAPA DISTILLERY

Last week, I finally had the chance to visit the Scapa Distillery, and it was every bit as fantastic as I’d hoped. I’ve been a devoted fan of Scapa since 2013, when I first tasted their exquisite 16-year-old expression. The tour itself was top-notch, thanks to our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, who handled all of our questions with ease and depth.

But let’s be honest while the tour was fascinating, the real highlight was the tasting. The tasting room is nothing short of breathtaking, with sweeping views that complement the whisky perfectly. Each of the three drams we sampled was superb, and I couldn’t resist picking up a couple of bottles to take home afterward.

If you find yourself in Orkney, a visit to Scapa Distillery is an absolute must. The experience, from start to finish was outstanding.

We spent the weekend in Kirkwall.
Naturally, we had to visit the Scapa distillery. I must admit that I had never tried Scapa whisky before. I was not disappointed! The tour and tasting experience were fantastic. The tasting room is the most beautiful I have ever seen. I don't think it could be bettered. Unfortunately, we couldn't take a bottle with us as we were only flying with hand luggage. Thank you very much for the insight and the excellent whisky.

Great tour, took the hour and fifteen minutes - guide was knowledgeable and friendly!  End of tour sampling was 10, 11 and 12 year old with small bottles so drivers can take samples away.  Would definitely recommend.
