Glen Garioch 31 Year Old Angus Thanes Series Macbeth Act One - 54.6% 70cl

A collection of forty-two different whiskies from the length and breadth of Scotland, selected and bottled by Livingstone in partnership with Elixir Distillers.

Each whisky represents a character from the Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare, with illustrations by Sir Quentin Blake and character notes by Dave Broom.

Angus is one of twelve noble malts in The Thanes series.

There is complexity in Angus, who is among the thanes who switch allegiance from Macbeth to Malcolm over the course of the play.

Glen Garioch has a fascinating tale of its own - the early 1990s saw a return to slower production that you can taste in the weight of the spirit.

Florals and spices are balanced and tempered by the unctuous mouthfeel.

Nose : Fruity and pastry-like. Panettone, dried apricots, orange zest.

Palate : Suave and delicate. Nutmeg, banana, white flowers.

Finish: Long and mineral. Yellow fruit, malted barley, vanilla.
