Scapa 8 year old 1980s Gordon & Macphail
This Gordon & Macphail bottling is from the Scapa highland distillery. This is an 8 year old bottling at 40% ABV and 75cl indicating it is from the 1980s.
Modern day Scapa is a priority spirit for blends like Chivas Regal and Ballantine’s, but overall Scapa wasn’t in production for a large part of the modern era, being essentially closed between 1994-2006. This rather than demand is why they’ve had to cease production of praised age stated brands such as their Scapa 16 year old. They opened their distillery visitors centre in 2015, alongside a lot of additional investment money being put toward the Scapa brand, we can hope for big things in the future.
Gordon & Macphail are one of the oldest whisky bottlers to exist in the world. Bottling over 350 expressions from over 70 distilleries, as well as bottling whisky for numerous large distilleries in Scotland for decades. Bottling whisky for 115 years and now proud owners of the Benromach distillery since 1993. They did nearly purchase Strathisla Distillery from Seagram’s in the 1950’s, but Seagram’s wanted £71,000, whereas Gordon & Macpahil only offered £70,000. Imagine.
