Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
Blair Athol at a nice robust drinking strength, matured in Bourbon Hogsheads and Recharred Wine Casks.
Producer Note: “Thick and heavy, Blair Athol is a spirit that loves to perform in richerwood profiles. For the Bloody Sergeant, a hardy soldier loyal to King Duncan, we married bourbon hogsheads, bursting with vanilla and toffee, with ex-wine casks to build in layers of fruit and tannin, all accentuating the robustness of this Highland malt."
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 51.8% abv.
Andrew's Tasting Note:
Nose: round, earthy, and fruity, with an ominous hint of iron; Wine Gums, Swedish Berries, and dried cranberry; malty with waxy Strawberry Twizzlers and Cherry Nibbs; leather and cocoa nibs.
Palate: still round, malty, and chocolaty, with building leather and earthy spice; oily, more Wine Gums, Twizzlers and Nibbs; more cocoa nibs, rough new leather, and earthy spices: fennel, ginger, and cardamom; red velvet cake.
Finish: warming, viscous, and spicy, with more leathery tannins, and firm earthy spices; long, coating, and again with that little hint of iron... or is that just in my head.
Comment: this is an apt choice to represent the Bloody Sargaent; and a rather good young Blair Athol.

"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."
