Chain Pier 5 Year Old Tasting Notes

Jack and Dana's tasting notes

Nose: A heavy and meaty distillate. Rich and heady. No malt traces of new make remain despite the young age. Heavy black treacle, cinnamon, and sawdust. With water, a touch of lemon creeps in.

Palate: This dram doesn’t taste like any red wine cask I have ever tried before. Any winey influence doesn’t appear until the finish. The dram is rich and full bodied- the distillate is the star of the show without it being ‘spiritous’. The wood has added bags of flavour too but you could be forgiven for thinking this was a sweet fortified wine cask.

Finish: The heavy spirit slides off the palate, leaving butterscotch and oak in its wake. Brighter red fruit emerges, and a touch of the red wine. Stunning.

About Uncharted Whisky's The Chain

Uncharted Whisky Company released The Chain, Chapter 2 – a rare 5-year-old single malt from the now-closed Chain Pier Distillery. Distilled in April 2019 and bottled in March 2025, this Lowland whisky is a true piece of modern Edinburgh whisky history. Matured exclusively in a first-fill French red wine barrique (cask UC045), it’s bottled at cask strength (57.6%) with natural colour and no chill filtration. The whisky shows a beautiful marmalade amber hue, with bright aromas of berries and dark chocolate. With only 294 bottles produced, this is a vibrant and distinctive dram from one of Edinburgh’s brief but historic distilling chapters.
