Special features: This Islay single malt matured entirely in first fill bourbon barrels and is part of the multifaceted Macbeth Collection, which brings literary characters from Shakespeare's tragedy to life with characterful whiskies. Limited to 750 bottles, it captures the dramatic essence of the "Second Witch" with its deep complexity.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Medicinal notes meet prominent coal smoke, accompanied by lush vanilla and dark dried fruits.
Palate: Oily and rich with a harmonious blend of smoke and sweet sherry flavors.
Finish: Long-lasting, with peaty depth and a hint of spices.
Distillery/Bottler: The distillery behind this malt remains deliberately unknown, appealing to the mysterious aura of Islay. It is bottled by Elixir Distillers, who pursue an artistically literary concept with the Macbeth Collection and produce exclusive whiskies with character. The collaboration with Livingstone and Burgess Studio combines creativity in design with traditional whisky production.
