Chronicles are small batches from 3-6 casks that we repeat in our Anthology over time. Chronicles come from
our stocks of carefully selected, re-racked and finished casks. This one is from 3 first fill bourbon barrels where
the spirit has spent its last 3 years following 5 years in refill bourbon hogsheads. Our personal taste has always
been for whiskies aged in bourbon casks. With this Chronicle, we wanted to have an obvious but balanced
bourbon wood aged Islay malt. As we will be continuing the series, the next Chronicle may open new horizons
with unexpected wood finishes.
Nose: Custard, vanilla, smoke, peat and candied fruits.
Palate: Smooth and sweet. Candied oranges, smoked oranges and fudge.
Finish: Young oak, burnt caramel and orange marmalade.
Chapter 7 is an Independent Bottler. We don’t make whisky, we discover it. We find exceptional casks that mature extraordinary whiskies. A cask of whisky is a living, breathing, thing. Air moves in and out of the cask. The whisky’s flavour evolves and changes as it matures in the oak. Ageing builds character. And we find the best characters to bottle.
