About Chapter7 Distillery
Most popular bottles from the bottler
A brief History
Chapter 7 Whisky, Scotland. Founded in 2014
A Whisky Anthology in a Bottle
Some brands write tasting notes — Chapter 7 writes stories. Not quite a distillery in the traditional sense, Chapter 7 is an independent bottler that treats whisky like literature — each release a new chapter, each bottle a standalone plot twist. Founded in Switzerland by Selim Evin and now operating with a strong UK presence, Chapter 7 has carved out a niche in the world of single cask Scotch by selecting unique, characterful whiskies from well-known and off-the-beaten-path distilleries.
What makes them special? It’s not about consistency — it’s about discovery. One month you’re sipping a 12-year-old Speyside finished in sherry; the next, it’s a heavily peated Islay from a cask that’s lived a thousand lives. The labels are minimalist. The whisky? Anything but. This is for drinkers who like surprise, variety, and personality in their dram — like reading a book you can't put down.

Because Chapter 7 bottles whiskies from multiple distilleries, flavours vary widely. But across the range, you’ll find bold cask influence, natural presentation (no chill filtration, no added colour), and a real sense of texture and tone. Think of it like a mixtape — curated, surprising, and full of standout tracks.
Chapter 7 is renowned for its expressive and often bold single cask whiskies. The bottler is particularly respected for letting each cask shine on its own terms, which means plenty of dried fruit, oak spice, and warmth — often from sherry or wine cask finishes. Key flavour characteristics include:
-
Rich dried fruits and warming spice
-
Vanilla and toasted oak
-
Complex, evolving mouthfeel
-
Layers of sweetness, pepper, and sometimes smoke

Structure: Independent Bottler (not distillery-based)
From one-man start-up to globally respected bottler, Selim’s vision was simple: treat each whisky as a character, not a product. Chapter 7’s minimal branding and maximal flavour is a reflection of that idea — it’s whisky for curious drinkers, not label-chasers.
