Short Story

Chapter 7 Whisky is an Independent bottler that was founded in 2014 by Selim Evin with the goal of seeking out extraordinary casks from Scottish as well as Irish lesser known distilleries. With a name inspired by literature ― Shakespeare’s As You Like It comedy, to be exact ― and Evin’s malt-chasing expertise, the company soon began racking up the most prestigious awards, with their first 4 single malts averaging 91.6 points in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Since then they have expanded from Scotch single malts to Irish ones, as well as single grain and blended malt Scotches, with most releases being cask strength and none of them employing chill filtering or coloring.

Chapter 7 has three series of expressions: Monologue, Anecdote, and Chronicle. The first are unique single casks, the second once-in-a-lifetime small batches or married atypical whiskies, the third has their aging reserves. This release is the 15th in the Monologue series. Distilled in 1990 at the Tormore distillery, it’s a mature Speyside whisky at 31 years of age ― the oldest release from Chapter 7 yet. A part of the Chivas Brothers portfolio, Tormore single malt bottlings were few and far between. This is the second bottling of a Tormore single malt by Chapter 7, the first being a 17-year-old that received a Liquid Gold Award from the Whiskey Bible. Matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel that yielded 239 bottles, the expression was bottled at 102.4 proof.
