Scapa 14 Packaging

[jruddy]

I have never (until today) even thought of purchasing Scapa 14, simply because of the contemporary packaging (which is a nice way to say an ugly modern looking tube).

Based on comments by my guests I needed a lighter dram to offer up and bought a bottle.

Is it me, or does this tube look more like something produced in Hollywood than in Scotland?

HHMM.. now that you mention it, I can see what you mean.

While I do not think it a great packaging, I do not find it as offensive as you seem to do.

I have not voted - need an "indifferent" option.
And yes the important part: the malt inside is a nice, light malt

I just think it's kind of drab and uninspiring, as if they didn't want to be noticed. Yeah, that beam of sunlight on the water just doesn't say "Orkney" to me--how about a sideways squall of hailstones?

My local pusher still has one last bottle of 12. There were three or four up there for a long time, and I was hoping they'd drop the price from $47.99. No such luck, I guess. I don't want it $47.99 worth.

The old lable was better but not by much ... obviously they don't spend alot them

Not the worst either though...

I don't have a problem with it. To my mind it's better than their neighbours new livery!
I'm more interested in what's in the inside and would commend it to all whisky drinkers.

Its better than most others.

I like bottles with colorful labels and would buy and collect bottles just because of it. Like last week, I bought two bottles of old Antiquary because the label is quite unique and looks very old with a man facing backwards dressed in old clothes reaching for a bottle.

theres worse packagings on the market.

must say though, i popped a bottle in with my shopping in sainsburys tonight, not because of the eye catching packaging, but for the £19.99 price. £5 off.
