THE MACBETH COLLECTION

A collection of forty two different whiskys from the length and breadth of Scotland,
each representing a character from the Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare.

THE COLLECTION IS DIVIDED INTO SIX SERIES:

THE LEADS - Five Regal Malts
THE THANES - Twelve Noble Malts
THE GHOSTS - Six Ghost Distillery Whiskys
THE WITCHES - Four Smoky Whiskys
THE MURDERERS - Four Island Malts
THE HOUSEHOLD - Ten Characterful Whiskys


WHY MACBETH?
It is the ultimate Scottish family drama; akin to the history of the Scotch whisky
industry 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.
The characters are of different ages and status, giving an internal structure to the collection
that the audience will understand, from very old rare malts for the lead characters,
to more affordable characterful whiskies for the members of the household.
There are, famously, three witches in the play, surrounding a cauldron and casting a spell.
What better analogy for creating a magnificent blend?
There are also six ghosts, perfect for a set of six ghost distillery malts and grains.
