"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.

"To make the BenRiach Twelve, Benriach spirit is three cask matured for at least twelve years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and port casks.

BenRiach 10 Year The Smoky Ten
$109.99
Part of the reimagined BenRiach lineup spearheaded by Master Blended Rachel Barrie, The Smoky Ten is one of the peated BenRiach's in the range. A curious and intriguing combination of three casks are used in the maturation of the Smoky Ten: ex-Bourbon, Jamaican Rum casks, and toasted virgin oak casks. 46%
Producer Description
"In the early 1970s, Benriach broke convention in Speyside by returning to distilling batches of whisky in the old, 19th century style, using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. This wood rich Highland peat imparts distinctly sweet and smoky notes into Benriach peated whiskies. Benriach The Smoky Ten has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least ten years in a combination of bourbon barrels, Jamaican rum casks and toasted virgin oak. The whisky is then expertly married together to create sublimely smooth layers of sunripe fruit, aromatic smoke and toasted oak spice, lingering into the perfectly balanced sweet and smoky finish."

Crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least twelve years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and Marsala wine casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, creamy single malt, multilayered with flavours of ripened fruit, aromatic smoky sweetness and warming oak spice."
Magnum Scotch Whisky Cream

After extensive testing, the staff at KWM have come to the conclusion that this Magnum is more than just a fancy package. The Scottish Cream within drinks wonderfully on its own, but also plays nicely with coffee. The reusable container that it comes with is an added bonus!
This Scottish Cream liqueur uses Speyside Single Malt Scotch (possibly BenRiach) for its base. Bottled at 17%

$1,179.99
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.
BenRiach The Thirty
$1,249.99
One of the oldest peated BenRiach's we've seen, at least in recent memory, the BenRiach The Thirty is the only whisky in the distillery's core range using 100% Highland Peated malt. The "Four Cask Matured" whisky is composed of malts matured for at least 30 years in a mix of Sherry, Bourbon, Port, and Virgin Oak casks. 46%.
Producer Description
"In the early 1970s, Benriach broke convention in Speyside by returning to distilling batches of whisky in the old, 19th century style, using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. We therefore have the unique opportunity to be the only distillery in the region offering peated whisky at this age. Benriach Thirty is the only expression in our core range using 100% Highland peat matured whisky. At this age however, the peat has built an aromatic sweet complexity that makes the smoke almost untraceable. This exquisite single malt has been crafted from peated spirit and four cask matured for at least thirty years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks and port casks from the Douro Valley.
"During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrateswith the fruit, malt and oak. After thirty years, rich layering develops into sublime honeyed smoke, further enhanced through multi-layered cask maturation. The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, is then expertly married together to create an exquisitely harmonious single malt, layered with dark fruits, rich walnut and velvety oak spice with a long, complex, smoked honey finish. All in perfect balance.
