Ledaig 18 Year Old First Murderer Murderers Series Macbeth Act One Whisky - 50.5% 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.

The First Murderer is one of four island whiskies in The Murderers series.

The murderers travelled from the outer reaches of Scotland, so we have turned to island whiskies: a Single Malt Scotch whisky aged 18 years distilled on the Isle of Mull for the First Murderer.

None of the Murderers (or Witches) are named in the play; we have carried through to the whiskies - no distillery names, just regions, to retain the air of mystery.

Nose: Spicy green olive oil, rockpools, bandages, iodine, woody herbs, and wild grasses.

Palate: White pepper, aspirins, oysters, preserved lemons, sourdough, cedar, brine, peat kilns, and brick dust.

Finish: Smoke and sea air linger over a long, dry finish.
