Chapter 7 was founded in 2014 by Selim Evin and was named after Shakespeare's poem "The Seven Ages of Man", which Adam would consider to be his inspiration. An additional impulse also came from the family ties to whisky, and a new bottler was born. Initially inspired by the world of Scotch, the brand specialised in Grain and Irish Whisky before moving on to blending its own malts.
