SOURCING & BOTTLING

Bottling Services

 

Having bottled whisky with 3rd party bottling facilities for so many years, we know the frustrations that can come with it. Timing, quality issues, sourcing dry goods and of course, the price (to name a few!).

So, at Chapter 7 we have simplified the process: We receive a cask, we bottle, we ship. We have been known to even do this on the same day! We don’t like to store casks, so when your cask is ready for bottling, send it to us and we will bottle and ship. If we work together on multiple casks then we can also arrange to stock your bottles, so that we only need the cask and the labels from you.

We have an extremely transparent pricing model. We charge by the bottle, depending on batch size. Are there then extras here and there? Admin? Regauge? Labelling? Making up boxes and such… NO! We agree a price beforehand per bottle, multiply that by the output and you have your cost. Simple as that.

Imagine knowing the exact date your spirit will be bottled, and the exact price it will cost, before even sending the cask. Bliss.

Cask Sales

We sell casks to independent bottlers and individuals. For individuals or corporate clients, we buy and bottle the casks in their exclusive branding and deliver them the finished product. Sometimes individuals want to buy casks as an investment. There are a lot of so called whisky investment companies promising high returns on cask investments. We don't recommend this approach as buying and selling whisky is highly regulated and the investors usually are not aware of the nuances of buying and selling whisky in bulk. They also lack an exit strategy. At the end of their investment period, they may difficulties to exit from their investment and the returns depend on at what price they buy their casks. If you don't know the trade prices, how do you know if you are buying at the right price point in the first place?

For those who want to invest in whisky, Chapter 7 has a safer option with a laid down exit strategy. We welcome investors to invest in casks that we bottle under our own brand and sell through our sales network. Like this, your investment is safe. If you want a short term investment, you can invest in casks that will be bottled soon after purchasing. If you want a long term investment, you can invest in casks that will be bottled in 1-3 years time for higher returns.
