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:

$14000
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies wherein each release represents a character from MacBeth, which is a little-known off-broadway play by some guy named Bill Shakespeare.
This bad boy is one of the big ones. One of the six apex malts in the range. A 56-year-old single Sherry Butt of what is unquestionably a once-in-a-lifetime dram from Glen Grant that had an outurn of a mere 100 bottles. 92.0pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “It was imperative that King Duncan held the requisite status and gentle character. Over the many years we’ve been searching for casks, we have, on occasion, been fortunate to find those truly rare occurrences of whiskies of great age that retain great elegance.This Glen Grant, distilled on Speyside in 1965, fits the bill perfectly: the beautiful light fruit of the spirit, the suggestion of forest floor, dusty books...an abundance of sophisticated flavours that are created only after decades in the finest wood.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 48.2% abv.

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.

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.”

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.”
