Chapter 7 Whisky

A measure of whisky is a story. It speaks of the distillery that produced it, the cask that matured it and the experience of the people who selected it.

A whisky can have the youthful exuberance of a Jane Austin character, the absolute power of an Alfred Tennyson poem and the surprise finish of an Agatha Christie novel. We’re using whisky to write an anthology, and every edition is a new chapter.

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.
