Scapa Distillery Brand Home

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.

Fantastic experience at Scapa Distillery! The tour was informative and well-paced, with just the right balance of history, production detail, and personal touches. The whiskies were excellent — a real treat to taste such quality drams right at the source. The tasting room was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views and a calm, refined atmosphere that really enhanced the experience. The presentation of the whiskies was thoughtful and elegant, making the tasting feel special from start to finish. Highly recommended for whisky lovers and anyone visiting Orkney looking for a memorable, high-quality experience.

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.

The Orcadian visit was a beautiful experience.The welcome from the team of three gentlemen was very pleasant. We did the whole tour with Jim. A great guy from the Orkneys! The explanations were so interesting that time flew by and we didn't look at our watches once. Our 19-year-old daughter followed us around the whole tour. Our 16-year-old daughter joined us later at the magnificent location of The Noust. With its breathtaking view and warm atmosphere, we wanted to stay there forever. Jim is attentive and shared his knowledge of the Orkneys with us. The entire tour was very interesting. We started with the barrel warehouse, the mill, and the distillery. The whiskey tasting was very well organized. The aromas and flavors were both exceptionally delicate and powerful. For newcomers, men, women, and lovers of excellent unpeated whiskeys, this is the place to discover! Thank you, Jim! See ya in 2 years !!

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.

Did The Scapa Experience tour. Well worth money, William our tour guide was knowledgeable, quick with a joke and happy to answer questions. Whisky tasting was great, got to taste a wide variety of Skapa whiskies, all of which were fantastic. Distillery is in a beautiful location, would recommend walking round to the Scapa beach to get a picturesque view of the distillery. Would definitely visit again!

Did a whisky tour. A great way to spend the afternoon. Tour guide was very thorough and it was cool to see the aging warehouse with barrels full of whisky and to see the distillery and hear about how it works. Beautiful tasting room. Great unpeated whisky!

Amazing tour. Can’t recommend it enough. If you are a Whisky fan and are visiting Orkney, don’t miss the chance. Our tour guide Scott was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Scapa Distillery and the beautiful dram they produce.
