Chapter 7 Monologue 11 Year Old Caol Ila 2011 Scotch Whisky

A rare beauty a.k.a. cask number 161.

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.

Chapter 7 Monologue 11 Year Old Caol Ila 2011 Scotch Whisky was aged for 11 years before it was bottled in 2022. The rare beauty that lies before you was drawn from cask number 161. In other words, this is a very limited bottling, which is unfortunate as it's yet another proof of Caol Ila and Chapter 7 mastery. Savor neat or add a few drops of water.

Smartass Corner:
Chapter 7 has organized their releases into three categories. "Monologues" are single cask releases with a strictly limited quantity. "Anecdotes" are small batch or select blends that cannot be reproduced. Finally, "Chronicles" are small batch releases that are reproducible.
