Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
31-year-old BenRiach matured in American Oak Refill Hogsheads. You've probably heard us wax poetic about how much we love these types of casks. This BenRiach should be a cracker! 88.7pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “For Menteith, a nobleman who marched to oppose Macbeth, we have selected a malt from the ruggedly beautiful Benriach Distillery, which shines bright in various woods. It is a treat to find it so perfectly expressed, aged 31 years, in these high-quality Bourbon barrels: all the hallmarks of a classic fruit-driven, floral Benriach, with rich caramel and cinder (a nod to the dark) delivered by the casks.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 53.1% abv.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: decadent, creamy, and nutty with bright fruits; marmalade and blackberry jam; warm blueberry pie and candy apple; milk chocolate Caramilk bars and mole sauce; throw in a little fire-roasted smores.
Palate: the palate is a fruit bomb, with creamy milk chocolate and honeyed toasted oak; more Caramilk, Turtles, and smores; more marmalade, blackberry jam, and warm blueberry pie; the fruits then go tropical with notes of mango, papaya, and kiwi fruit; maple pecans, beer nuts, and honeyed almonds.
Finish: stays fruity, decadent, and chocolaty; loads of tropical fruits, jammy preserves, and thick with caramel.
Comment: this is a gorgeous thirty-something BenRiach, tropical, fruity, and creamy with some lovely chocolate tones; this is everything I was hoping it would be!

About the Macbeth Collection Act I
"A collection of forty two different whiskies from the length and breadth of Scotlandselected and bottled by Livingstone in partnership with Elixir Distillers,each representing a character from the Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare.With illustrations by Sir Quentin Blake, and character notes by Dave Broom.
"WHY MACBETH?: It is the ultimate Scottish family drama; akin to the history of the Scotch whiskyindustry itself. Feuds, triumphs, allegiances and betrayals...The play is full of great characters, perfect to build whisky profiles around.From bright to dark, light to heavy, all Scotch whisky can be represented.There are a fixed number of characters - meaning the series is finite. This is key when creating a meaningful collection."
This set includes one bottle of each of the following:

Producer Description
"This is a single, refill sherry hogshead of Benriach 1991, aged for 33 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 55.9%. One of Whiskyland’s most sparse and haunting landscapes is the Plainoak Desert. Many wanderers have lost their minds staring into the vast, fathomless bungholes that dot this stark tundra. If you venture into the Plainoak Desert, be sure to bring the following kit: 4 pipettes, a broad variety of tasting glasses lashed about your neck with lanyards, dram tokens from Whisky Festivals gone by that you can cast into the depths of the bung holes in a vague hope of shattering their psychic grasp upon your feeble mind, a teaspoon, unread of copies of Whisky Magazine from the early 2000s, a pair of rugged canvas sandals and two bottles of this Benriach 1991 for company – ideally three!"

Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth. Neat. Unquestionably a difficult set to build (ahem... sell your house to pay for it all?), but we'll be bringing in some of the cooler releases from the run. This is a Cambus matured in refill hogsheads. Only 650 bottles of this one.
Producer Note: "The First Ghost is one of six ghost distillery whiskies in The Ghosts series. “For The Ghosts, the link to silent, ghost distilleries was obvious and the selection of grain whisky offers a delicacy that reinforces the ethereal qualities of these apparitions. This is shown in the First Ghost to be revealed, a Single Grain Scotch Whisky aged 31 years, distilled at Cambus Distillery.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46.2% abv.
