Tomintoul 11 Year Old Tasting Notes

Selim's tasting notes

Nose: Hazelnut cake, soft mustard, gunpowder, oranges, copper coins, earth.

Palate: Pecans, walnuts, glazed chestnuts, gunpowder, bits of tobacco, sweet BBQ sauce.

Finish: Oily but sharp with sweet spices and tobacco.

Ed's review

Colour: Natural, light amber, or pale burnished gold. Coats my glass, with beads that form slowly.

Nose: Stewed apples in a butterscotch and vanilla sauce with grated orange peel on top. Dry roasted and salted nuts. Black peppercorns. Floral, with fragrant hay in the summer.

Palate: Medium to full mouthfeel. Mixed dry roasted nuts. A gentle sweetness and a fresher green note bring greengages to my mind - with vanilla cream. A little spice, but tempered with aromatic sweetness (I can see where Selim gets BBQ sauce from).

Finish: Long finish with gingernut biscuits, vanilla and a touch of warming spice.

Overall: Another delicious dram from Selim - great quality spirit, aged in a great cask.

About this Chapter 7 Whisky

Tomintoul takes its name from the highest village nearby the distillery. Built in the 1960s, it started to gain recognition not long ago with Angus Dundee Distillers releases. Chapter 7 Whisky was very pleased to find this single Amontillado cask finished Tomintoul. Amontillado is a variety of sherry characterised by being darker than fino but lighter than oloroso. Amontillado cask whiskies are rather unusual because the Amontillado casks themselves can be hard to come by. A properly seasoned Amontillado cask takes around 10 years to achieve.

Single Cask Whisky from Independent Bottler Chapter 7

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.
