Chapter 7 is an independent bottler founded by Selim Evin, dedicated to sourcing and releasing exceptional single malts and blended malts from across Scotland and beyond. The brand takes its name from the chapter in Scotch whisky regulations that governs independent bottlers, reflecting a deep respect for tradition and transparency in the industry. Chapter 7 has built a reputation for carefully selecting casks that express genuine character and quality, without compromise. The Islands Blended Malt is a fine example of Chapter 7's philosophy: bringing together single malts from Scotland's island distilleries to create a harmonious and characterful expression. Bottled at 49% ABV and presented in a 70cl bottle, this release is matured in Bourbon Hogsheads, imparting classic notes of vanilla, coastal brine, and gentle smoke that are hallmarks of island-style whisky. Crucially, it is bottled without chill filtration, preserving the full texture and natural flavours of the spirit. Chapter 7's commitment to non-chill filtration and thoughtful cask selection has earned the brand a loyal following among whisky enthusiasts who value authenticity and craft. Their releases are often limited, making each bottling a sought-after find for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
