Distillery Information

Swiss independent bottling brand Chapter 7 was created in 2014 by Selim Evin, who was inspired by his Scottish grandfather’s passion for whisky. The brand started its journey bottling lesser known single malt Scotch whiskies, though has now branched out and included Irish whiskeys and grain whiskies from Scotland. Chapter 7 was inspired by Shakespeare's play As You Like It, which begins with the famous “all the world’s a stage” monologue which recounts the seven ages of man. Chapter 7 paralleled these seven ages of man with they way in which whisky changes its personality through the influence of wood over the years.
