Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
This 31-year-old Glen Garioch was matured in American Oak First Fill Bourbon Barrels. One of the most interesting releases in the range. 89.67pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “There is complexity in Angus, who is among the thanes who switch allegiance from Macbeth to Malcolm over the course of the play. Our choice of distillery here, Glen Garioch has a fascinating tale of its own - the early 1990s saw a return to slower production that you can taste in the weight of the spirit. Florals and spices are balanced and tempered by the unctuous mouthfeel.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 54.6% abv.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: thick, nutty, and decadent with the promise of fruits; French crepes with lemon zest and powdered sugar; mango, pineapple, and peach; Italian leather gloves, dark chocolate shavings, and sweet spices.
Palate: oh boy is this gorgeous or what... sweet, tropical, and toasty; honey, caramel, and dulce de leche; popping with tropical fruits, more mango, papaya, pineapple, and much more; candied ginger, cinnamon sugar, and cardamom ice cream; dark chocolate Fruit n Nut bars, and Sunrype Fruit Source; a touch waxy and rather toasty with soft spices.
Finish: stays sweet, tropical, and nutty, with loads of chocolate; long, coating, and elegant.
Comment: wow... this is a stunner, probably my favourite whisky in the entire Macbeth Collection Act I... though to be fair, the 56 year old King Duncan isn't sitting on my tasting bar!

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:

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.

Linkwood is a 'top dressing' malt. Roughly translated, that means 'hella good'. Actually, it means that blenders covet this rich and vibrant malt for their blends because it has an incredible fruity, and sometimes floral, profile. This 31-year-old was matured in American Oak Refill Bourbon Barrels. 89.79pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “Linkwood is an all-time favourite distillery and it was a thrill to find a 31 year old expression of this Speyside Single Malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1991, that worked so perfectly for Lady Macduff – although I would probably have had to rewrite Macbeth if there wasn’t a place for this amazing whisky.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 48.2% abv.
