Description

Something wicked this way comes...

Introducing an ongoing series inspired by William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth. This is a multi-year collaboration between mastermind Lexi Burgess, writer Dave Broom whisky makers Sukhinder Singh and Oliver Chilton as well as artist Sir Quentin Blake. This has all come to life through Livingstone Rare in partnership with Elixir Distillers.

Each limited edition whisky in the series will portray one of the Scottish play's immortal characters. The full cast of lead characters, thanes, witches, ghosts and Macbeth's household have been reimagined as birds, an idea of the great illustrator Sir Quentin Blake. 

There are 42 whiskies in six series within the Macbeth Collection each character group paired with an appropriate whisky; The Leads with regal malts, The Thanes with noble malts, The Ghosts with ghost distillery whiskies, The Witches with Smoky Whiskies, The Murderers with Island Malts and The Household with Characterful Whiskies.

The Household

The Household characters are porters, doctors and messengers. The first releases of these are the Bloody Sergeant, a character who announced Macbeth's victory over the rebellious Macdonwald, and the Thane of Cawdor's loyal armoured, Seyton. 

The Bloody Sergeant release was distilled at the Blair Athol Distillery and matured in a combination of bourbon hogsheads and red wine casks. This dram was bottled at 10 years old with a strength of 51.8% ABV.
