Chapter 7 - Monologue 13 Year Old Teaninich 2008 Scotch Whisky
Evin lets lesser-known distilleries and their casks take the spotlight, revealing hidden gems with exceptional quality and character. With a team of whisky experts, the final selection is the product of collaborations with several different suppliers, service providers, and trade partners. Chapter 7 has three series of expressions: Monologue, Anecdote, and Prologue. The first are unique single casks, the second once-in-a-lifetime small batches or married atypical whiskies, the third consists of younger malts.
The 21st release in the Monologue series comes from Teaninich, Diageo's giant workhorse distillery that's known for using a hammer mill and mash filter instead of a mash tun. Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2022, the Highland single malt has spent 13 years in bourbon barrel no. 715025 before being bottled at an unusually low cask strength of 94 proof without chill-filtration of coloring ― that dark color is all-natural!
Look for toffee, apple, pastry, caramel, oak, vanilla, and baking spice aromas on the nose. The palate is rich with toffee, apple, cereal, currant, and hazelnut notes. You'll find toffee apples, spice, and créme caramel on the satisfyingly long finish.
