Benriach Macbeth Act One - Thanes Series - Menteith Single Malt Scotch Whisky 31 Year Old
In stock
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.
Menteith is one of twelve noble malts in The Thanes series.
For Menteith, a nobleman who marched to oppose Macbeth, we have selected a malt from the ruggedly beautiful Benriach Distillery, which shines bright in various woods. It is a treat to find it so perfectly expressed, aged 31 years, in these high-quality Bourbon barrels: all the hallmarks of a classic fruit-driven, floral Benriach, with rich caramel and cinder (a nod to the dark) delivered by the casks.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with honey-gold highlights and a coppery, sun-kissed glow.
Nose
An elegant bouquet of orchard fruits and spring florals, with ripened pear and golden apple, braided with vanilla-laced caramel and toasted oak. Bourbon-cask influence yields creamy sweetness, while a restrained veil of smoke hints at cinder, adding dark elegance, with whispers of almond and citrus zest lingering on the nose.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied with ripe orchard fruits and delicate florals, layered with vanilla, toffee and a whisper of cacao from the bourbon casks. Spiced warmth and a long, caramel-laced finish.
Finish
Long, velvet finish that lingers with fruit-driven brightness and delicate floral notes, then opens into rich caramel and vanilla. The bourbon cask imprint brings a subtle smoky cinder and warm oak, leaving a refined, memory-tingling sweetness that softly fades.
