Chapter 7 Monologue 12 Year Old Glenlossie 2008 Scotch Whisky

A delicate and rare Speysider.

Chapter 7 Whisky operates on one simple premise — 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 brainchild 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.

Chapter 7 Monologue 12 Year Old Glenlossie 2008 Scotch Whisky is the first Glenlossie, bottled by Chapter 7. Glenlossie is famous for using purifier pipes on their stills, which makes their whisky delicate and distinctly oily. This single-cask expression is a rare bottling for the distillery, though, as they mostly produce Whisky for Diageo's blends. Aged in a refill Bourbon hogshead, there were only 277 bottles of this delicate Speysider produced in total. Expect the palate to be packed with hazelnut praline, oak, berry jam, and vanilla fudge.
