Distilled on the Isle of Islay at the Ardbeg distillery, this single malt has matured for over 19 years in a first-fill Pedro Ximenez butt. The combination of peat and sherry imparts complex notes of candied fruits, honey, grilled bacon, and gentle smoke. To represent the Witches from the tragedy Macbeth, Elixir Distillers decided to turn to four iconic peated whiskies from Scotland. This Ardbeg is the first of the 4 Witches to make its appearance. Livingstone and Elixir Distillers present the first act of the Macbeth range, a true homage to the play written by William Shakespeare in 1606. This first act includes nine elixirs that will allow us to patiently wait for the four subsequent acts, for a total of 42 whiskies. Each Scotch whisky in this series is based on the profiles of Macbeth‘s characters, with tasting notes written by Dave Broom and labels illustrated by the legendary Sir Quentin Blake. A true journey between Shakespeare’s quill and the finest bottles that Elixir Distillers can offer.
