A 2015 addition to the Scapa range, the Skiren is a handsomely honey'd single malt Scotch whisky which has been distilled in the Scotch whisky industry's only remaining working Lomond Still!
It was first matured in American oak casks which as a result brought plenty of vanilla and honey notes to the table making it an exceptional whisky.
Not forgetting the name, the origin behind it is that it comes from the Old Norse word for "glittering bright skies"...
Nose: Runny honey and fresh cream with hints of fresh apple and just a hint of anise. Not forgetting the slightest hint of some crushed nuts too.
Palate: The presence of honey continues with a warmth and richness. Sparks of juicy pear and lemon peel also present themselves with touches of oak that develop further on, bring to the table some balancing spice.
Finish: Medium length with a sweetness to it, with oak lasting too.
