Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 50.6%
A single cask 1988 Scapa bottled in 2020 as a 32-year-old without colouring or chill filtration by Gordon & MacPhail for their Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range.
This 32-year-old Scapa 1988 came from a single refill bourbon cask (#310 for those interested in the minutiae) yielding 146 bottles at its natural cask strength of 50.6%.
Long-aged Scapa is so scarce now as production was very sporadic in the 1990s and Noughties, so it's wonderful to see a cask strength Scapa at this grand old age - particularly from a refill bourbon cask that should let the spirit sing. This should be absolutely amazing.

Complex with subtle dried citrus, raisins as I would usually like in a sherry cask but something (the smoke, grape skins ? from the sherry cask?) unwelcome reminds me of grappa.
