GLENTAUCHERS 27 ans Lennox Macbeth Act Two Elixir Distillers

“Lennox” is a Glentauchers single malt bottled by Elixir Distillers as part of Act Two of the Macbeth series, a collection of forty-two whiskies inspired by Shakespeare’s tragedy. One of twelve noble malts in The Thanes series, this expression was matured in refill bourbon barrels, allowing the distillery’s naturally bright and aromatic spirit to take centre stage. Floral notes and delicate orchard fruits leap from the glass, while a gentle touch of toasted American oak emerges on the finish, creating a whisky that feels light, expressive and subtly structured—mirroring the youthful energy and pragmatic nuance of its namesake.

Founded in 1898, at the dawn of a major whisky industry crisis, Glentauchers Distillery spent much of its working life quietly supplying malt for blends such as Buchanan’s and later Black & White, remaining largely in the shadows of the single malt world. Production was interrupted during both world wars before the distillery closed permanently in 1985. Acquired by Allied Domecq in 1989 and later by Pernod Ricard in 2005, Glentauchers has seen only rare official bottlings, with most single malt releases appearing through respected independent bottlers such as Signatory Vintage and Gordon & Macphail. As a result, Glentauchers remains a quietly revered name among enthusiasts, prized for its elegant, floral spirit.
