Chapter 7 Prologue Peated Blend Batch #2 A Whisky Anthology Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (2022) 70cl
1 of 6000 bottles.
The premise of Chapter 7 Whisky is simple — each cask of Whisky is unique. The wood, age, temperature, its location in the rick-house… everything tells its own story. Large Scotch producers marry casks in large vats before bottling so that the master blender can try to make them all taste the same. The folks at Chapter 7 Whisky think that’s a shame.
Chapter 7 is the brain-child of Selim Evin. He thinks that each cask should tell its own unique tale, so he travels to Scotland and Ireland to hand-select single casks from the inventories of the world’s greatest distilleries. Then he custom bottles each one with its own story. How many bottles, you ask? Well, until the barrel is empty.
The Prologue was introduced in 2021 and is the newest of their Whisky series. Chapter 7 Prologue Batch #2 is a small batch blend of Speyside and Highland Single Malts that were aged in ex-Bourbon barrels. The Whiskies are aged between 4 and 8 years and 6,000 bottles were yielded. As the perfect casual, everyday dram, this edition complements their Monologue and Anecdote collection, plus, it’s a tribute to the so-called dramming. In the mid 1970s, it was customary (if perhaps not completely legal) to distribute drams to distillery workers between their shifts. The days of dramming are long gone but this offering brings the concept back with its floral and fruity and approachable palate, packed with sweet spices. Enjoy straight or mix it up.
About Chapter 7
A measure of whisky is a story. It speaks of the distillery that produced it, the cask that matured it, and the experience of the people who selected it. A whisky can have the youthful exuberance of a Jane Austin character, the resonance of an Alfred Tennyson poem and the surprise finish of an Agatha Christy novel. Chapter 7 uses whisky to write an anthology, and every edition is a new chapter.
Chapter 7 Whisky is an Independent Bottler. They don’t make whisky, we discover it. They find exceptional casks that mature extraordinary whiskies.
A cask of whisky is a living, breathing, thing. Air moves in and out of the cask. The whisky’s flavour evolves and changes as it matures in the oak. Ageing adds character. And they find the best characters to bottle.
