From The Whisky Exchange:

The first Murderer to carry out Macbeth’s terrible bidding is realised here as a robust, smoky malt from Scotland’s western reaches. Distilled on the Isle of Mull, this heavily peated whisky is thick with coastal notes of seaweed, shellfish and brine. An excellent casting for one of Shakespeare’s most sinister creations.

Each whisky in this series was chosen by Elixir Distillers based on character profiles written by Dave Broom. The illustrations that appear on the labels are the work of the great Sir Quentin Blake.

Tasting Notes from Joe Rogers, The Whisky Exchange:

NOSE: Spicy green olive oil, rockpools, bandages and iodine, then 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

COMMENT: A serious island whisky that does a fantastic job of evoking this dark, mysterious character

From the Bottler:

CHARACTER NOTES

Pallid, with a reek of woodsmoke
and tallow candles.
Salt sweat on the brow.
Lean shanked, yet muscular. 

 Downtrodden, dismissed and angry;

a denizen of the darkest taverns.
For a few coins, as night falls,
a throat will feel its bite, a child will die;
money runs thicker than blood.
