Chapter 7 Monologue 13 Year Old Teaninich 2008 Scotch Whisky

273 bottles of this rare Teaninich offering were made.

The premiss 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.

Using a hammer mill and mash filter, Teaninich is a unique distillery that produces malts for Diageo’s blends. They don’t have any continuous official bottlings, however, which makes Chapter 7 Monologue 13 Year Old Teaninich 2008 a rarity. After spending 13 years in a Bourbon barrel, 273 offerings are bottled at an unusually low cask strength of 47% ABV. Non-chill filtered, expect juicy flavors of spiced toffee, farm apple juice, toasted malt loaf, currents, hazelnuts, and brown butter. Savor this one neat or with a drop of water.
