About Chapter 7 Monologue 12 Year Old Wine Cask Blair Athol 2009 Scotch Whisky
Evin lets lesser-known distilleries and their casks take the spotlight, revealing hidden gems with exceptional quality and character. With a team of whisky experts, the final selection is the product of collaborations with several different suppliers, service providers, and trade partners. Chapter 7 has three series of expressions: Monologue, Anecdote, and Prologue. The first are unique single casks, the second once-in-a-lifetime small batches or married atypical whiskies, the third consists of younger malts.
Monologue #22 is a single-cask Highland single malt that comes from Blair Athol, one of Diageo’s workhorse distilleries. Built in 1798 in Pitchlory, a lot of the whisky ends up in Bell’s Blended Scotch. Mostly matured in ex-bourbon casks, it’s rare to find a Blair Athol that was aged in a wine cask. This cask was just that ― presumably a 2nd or 3rd fill one. Bottled in 2021 without chill-filtration or added coloring, it’s a deliciously complex 106-proof single malt. 258 bottles were produced.

About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
