Scapa 14 year old (OB, 40%, 1L)

As night approaches I am again, staring at my whisky shelf thinking, hm... which one of you should I re-visit tonight. It came across to my mind that Scapa 14 year old had a wonderful honey note the last time I try it; I am keen to know if it still expresses the same way after a couple weeks of time.

Located in one of the most remote island of Scotland, Scapa distillery was built on the shore of Scapa Flow near the town of Kirkwall (The Mainland of Orkney). It is apparently one of the only two distilleries who still survive on the Orkney Island (apart from Highland Park). A rather small distillery, Scapa consists only two stills and produces only 40,000 gallons a year (660,000 gallons by Highland Park).

Scapa was founded in 1885 and built by John Townsend. Alfred Barnard (a British brewing and distilling historian) described that it's "one of the most complete little distilleries in the Kingdom". Scapa was closed for mothball reason at 1994 and was re-opened again a decade later. It is certainly a more of a boutique style distillery that produces only whisky in small volume. It is not surprised that Scapa whiskies expresses a bit of sea salt flavour due to its geographic location.

Scapa 14 year old was first released as the replacement of the 12 year old version. I have read an article somewhere saying that the 14 year old is now being replaced by the 16 year old version; though I don't see any sign of this.
