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."

Ledaig 10 Year
$74.99
* This bottle was featured on Day 4 of our 2020 KWM Whisky Calendar, much to Evan's delight.
Bottled at 46.3% ABV, the Ledaig 10-year-old is the flagship heavily-peated release from Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull.
Tobermory 21 Year
$239.99
It has been a hot minute since we have gotten anything older than the venerable 12-year-old when it comes to official bottlings of Tobermory. The 21 is here now though - at least for a minute or two! Bottled at 46.3% ABV, the whisky was aged in Oloroso sherry casks for its final four or five years of maturation.
Producer Description
"Joining our award winning 12 year old in the unpeated Tobermory whisky core range, this 21 year old is small batch produced at our distillery on the Isle of Mull. Distilled into whisky refill cask on the 16th of December 1999, this spirit was then transferred into Oloroso sherry casks on the 26th of February, 2015. The result is a beautifully sweet and vibrant dram. Like all our whiskies, this is non-chillfiltered and natural colour, with an abv of 46.3%, mirroring our other core range expressions."
G&M CC Ledaig 2007 Whisky Heathens
$214.99
Limit 1 Per Customer! This 2007 vintage Ledaig was bottled from a single First Fill Sherry Hogshead at 17 years and 55.1%. It was selected by Fort McMurray's "The Whisky Heathens", aka Josh, Ty and Tricia.
G&M CC Ledaig 1993 Cask 706
$1,174.99
They are calling it Ledaig, but there is no mention of peat in the tasting note, so is it actually Tobermory? We've seen this before... Prior to the mid-2000s Tobermory was produced almost exclusively for blending. At this time even the unpeated make was often put into cask labelled as Ledaig, the distillery's original name! This 1993 vintage Tobermory/Ledaig is bottled at 57.2%
Tobermory 12 Year
$81.99
The Tobermory 12-year-old replaces the old flagship 10-year old, which is now out of production. The 12-year-old was aged primarily in ex-Bourbon and other American Oak casks and is bottled at 46.3% ABV.
The quirky ABV is a standard throughout owner Distell's Scottish Whisky brands, which also include Deanston and Bunnahabhain Distillery.
Tobermory Distillery resides on the Isle of Mull which lies west of mainland Scotland. The distillery focuses on creating unpeated whisky for its aptly named Tobermory whisky line as well as a heavily peated style known as Ledaig.
Peat`s Beast Single Malt
$71.99
The Peat's Best Single Malt Scotch was featured on Day 4 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
A mystery peated (33 ppm apparently) single malt bottled at 46% without colouring or chill-filtering. What is the source? We have been told it isn't Islay and the label makes no such claims Islay either. We have our own ideas on where the malt could be from, but we don't know for sure!
Macbeth Collection Ledaig (Mull) 18 Year
$345.99
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
Evan has just announced out of the blue that his favourite Macbeth character is the First Murderer, which even for him is an odd choice. That could only mean that this is a bottle of Ledaig.
This one is bound to be beastly. American Oak Hogsheads should allow the Ledaig-ian character to shine through nicely. 88.41pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “The murderers travelled from the outer reaches of Scotland, so we have turned to island whiskies: a Single Malt Scotch whisky aged 18 years distilled on the Isle of Mull for the First Murderer. None of the Murderers (or Witches) are named in the play; we have carried through to the whiskies - no distillery names, just regions, to retain the air of mystery.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 50.5% abv.
Ledaig 9 Year Red Wine
$139.99
Finished in Bordeaux Red Wine Casks and bottled at 56.8%, this Ledaig will likely be beastly and divisive in style. Then again: what Ledaig isn't?
Producer Description
"The latest Limited Edition release from Ledaig (our peated single malt) has been fully matured in red wine casks and bottled at cask strength. The resulting dram is bursting with flavour - heather and pine cones with woody sea salt and floral notes on the finish."
