For me, it's 85 points, as it's a solid standard, with some old school key.
At least at the first tasting, I could not detect any false notes.

From a relatively full 50ml bottle, but it still could have gone bad. Judging from the low scores... maybe not. I decided to open to see if I want to bid for a full bottle on one of the auction sites... No thanks.

Nose

Damp, dungy, old books, burnt plastics... interesting, but not a good combo methinks.

Taste

Taste very young, grassy, glue and plastic. Mineral, slightly bitter, some off flavors.

Finish

Short, and with the weird combination of flavors, that's probably a good thing.

Caramel and vanilla on the nose, honey-sweet with a touch of smoke and sea. Yesterday and today, a dram from Scapa is always worth the time.
