The aroma features ripe oranges, a light peach tea, vanilla, and a well-developed grainy note. Upon drinking, it offers orange marmalade, honey, a soft sweetness typical of water addition, and a rich grain flavor with an oaky finish. The overall drinking experience is very pleasant.

This bottle, labeled as GM Distillery Labels and bottled in 2006, is SCAPA 1993 with approximately 13 years of aging. At 45% ABV, although there is no specific mention of its intended market, it seems likely to be aimed at the French Maison de Whisky. The bourbon cask aging is evident with notes of vanilla, orange, honey, and oak. Additionally, the presence of a peach tea-like element, skillfully drawn out by the water addition, was particularly impressive. The absence of harshness in the oak and grain notes contributes to a smooth drinking experience, which I believe is due to the effective use of water addition. Many bottles with this specification, aimed at Maison markets, are well-balanced and skillfully diluted.
