About this Chapter 7 whisky

This Dalrymple 10 Year Old from Chapter 7 is part of Selim Evin’s highly regarded Monologue range, a series that focuses on clear, character-driven whiskies where spirit and cask are allowed to speak without distraction. Distilled in August 2018 and bottled in October 2025, this Lowland single malt is tea-spooned Ailsa Bay spirit, matured in a bourbon hogshead and bottled at 50.4% ABV, with natural colour and no chill filtration. The outturn is a modest 264 bottles.

Dalrymple is less-often-seen, making releases like this especially interesting. As tea-spooned Ailsa Bay, it offers a lighter, more floral Lowland-leaning profile than the peated Ailsa Bay distillery style is often associated with. Bourbon hogshead maturation suits this spirit well, allowing its orchard fruit character and soft malt sweetness to develop naturally, while contributing gentle vanilla, honeyed oak and subtle spice rather than dominating the whisky.

On the nose, the whisky opens with ripe pear and vanilla cream, supported by light floral notes and a lift of fresh citrus zest. The palate is balanced and composed, revealing toffee and malt sweetness layered with orchard fruits, while a restrained spice note adds structure without heaviness. The finish is clean, elegant and softly persistent, leaving behind lingering honeyed sweetness and polished oak.

This is a quietly confident Lowland-style dram that rewards patience. For fans of subtle, well-matured bourbon cask whisky, and for those curious to explore Dalrymple / Ailsa Bay spirit outside its usual context, this Chapter 7 release offers clarity, balance and understated charm in equal measure.

Meet The Founder

Selim Evin

Selim Evin's love affair with whisky began as a teenager when he accompanied his grandfather on a trip to Scotland. Visiting various distilleries, he was fascinated by both the art of whisky making and the stories behind the whiskies. This early experience left an indelible mark on him, igniting a passion that would later earn him the nickname "Malt Chaser."

In 2013, he made the bold decision to leave a successful business behind and pursue his true calling. He founded Chapter 7, an independent bottler that combined his passion for whisky with his love for literature. The name "Chapter 7" was inspired by the seven ages of man from Shakespeare's works. It symbolises the stages of life that whisky goes through, each stage telling a different story.

Selim's curiosity, commitment to quality, and pursuit of unique whiskies shine through all his whiskies.
