This series, inspired by William Shakespeare’s drama Macbeth, depicts various characters from the famous work in the form of unique whiskies.

Distilled by the Benrinnes Distillery, which is known for its strong and full-bodied whisky, this single malt matured for 12 years in carefully selected oak casks. The combination of sherry and bourbon cask maturation gives it remarkable depth, complexity and intense fruitiness, while the higher alcohol strength intensifies its powerful flavours.
This limited bottling is a must for collectors and lovers of strong, characterful Speyside whiskies.
