I had heard various things about the Scapa 12, but I bought some anyway. It is REALLY quite surprisingly nice.
Very light. Long finish. Some velvet. A little like the Glenfarclas CS without the mule kick to the head. Vanilla. Not particularly complex, but would actually be a good starter for someone looking for a first single malt. Probably 3rd behind the Glenfarclas CS and Glendrannoch 12 yo as a sort of daily dram.
