A deep and rich Blair Athol.
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.
Built in 1798 in Pitlorchy, Blair Athol is known for its nutty character that results from short fermentation and cloudy worts. They produce malts for Diageo, mostly Bell’s, and the majority of their juice ends up in Bourbon barrels. Chapter 7 Monologue 12 Year Old Blair Athol 2009 Bourbon Cask has a deep, rich, malt loaf character. A Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, it brings forward orange juice, natural vanilla, raisins, and maize bread on the layered palate. Only 299 bottles were made of this non-chill filtered beauty.
