As part of a group of 8 whisky enthusiasts from Denmark and one Scotsman we visited Scapa on a Saturday where the distillery was normally closed. The distillery invited us well before our visit to come anyway and to receive us for a tour. We have been on quite a few distillery tours during the years but Janet made this one very special and took the time needed. This is the best tour ever. Thank you Janet and Scapa. We will be back
