The wood, age, temperature and location in the warehouse all tell their own story. Large producers marry casks in big vats so the master blender can make them taste the same; Chapter 7, the brainchild of Selim Evin, thinks that is a shame. Evin travels to Scotland and Ireland to hand-select individual casks, and the Monologue series bottles each one on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Oloroso finish lays a magical layer of prunes, sultanas and spices on top of an already accomplished malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn independent single cask bottling, it makes a fine gift for collectors of Speyside malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenrinnes sits on the slopes of the mountain of the same name in Speyside and is known for a rich, meaty spirit that stands up well to sherry casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOloroso is a dry, nutty style of sherry aged in contact with air; casks that held it give whisky dried fruit, walnut and warm spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle cask whisky comes from one cask only and is never blended, so every bottling is unique and its outturn is limited to what that one cask held.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled at 54% ABV, this cask keeps its full texture and intensity; a few drops of water open up further aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prunes and sultanas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm spices from the Oloroso cask.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54% ABV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottler:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chapter 7 Whisky (Selim Evin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Benrinnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, single cask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years (distilled 2009)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108 proof (54% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oloroso sherry finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a little water.
