Chapter 7 Anecdote #2 24 Year Old 1995

The second batch of one massive Blended Scotch, this 24-year-old marries the best of Laphroaig, Highland Park, and Speyside Malts.

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 Anecdote Series is all about bringing together unconventional Whisky combinations. These small-batch releases marry precious, rare casks together to totally unique and surprising, yet utterly delicious results. This batch has 17% Laphroaig, 22% Highland Park, and 61% Speyside Malts. After a whopping 24 years that the Whisky has spent in 2 Bourbon hogsheads, it went for a round of finishing in Koval Bourbon barrels for another half a year. Peaty, briny, and earthy with dried fruit, this is one heavy hitter.
