DESCRIPTION

Allianzen und gemeinsame Anstrengungen, die auf rücksichtslosen Ehrgeiz und knallharte Machtkämpfe treffen: In der schottischen Whiskybranche geht es zu wie bei Macbeth, erkannte Lexi Livingstone Burgess und legte damit den Grundstein für die Dramaturgie einer beeindruckenden Whiskysammlung. Gemeinsam mit den Elixir Distillers besetzte der Gründer von Livingstone und Burgess Studio, bekannt für kreative Designarbeit im Bereich Scotch, die fantastischen Charaktere der Shakespeare-Tragödie mit Whiskys.

Von alten Einzelfässern über aussagekräftige Malt und Grain Whiskys bis hin zu Raritäten aus geschlossenen Brennereien: 42 individuelle Charaktere wird die Macbeth Collection insgesamt auf die Whisky-Bühne bringen.

Jede der limitierten Abfüllungen wird von dem etablierten Künstler Sir Quentin Blake mit der entsprechenden Figur illustriert und mit Notes versehen, die Whisky-Autor Dave Broom in lyrische Prosa verpackt hat.

Für die Serien The Witches und The Murderers fiel die Wahl auf stark getorfte Malts wie den First Witch (Ardbeg) 2004/2023, der 19 Jahre lang in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Butts reifte.

Ardbeg - Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Perched on the rugged southern coast of Islay, part of Scotland's Inner Hebrides, Ardbeg Distillery is a name revered in the world of Scotch whisky. Established in 1798 and entering commercial whisky production in 1815, Ardbeg boasts a rich history intertwined with the very essence of Islay whisky-making.
Ardbeg is celebrated for its intensely peated Islay whisky, a style defined by the use of malted barley from the Port Ellen maltings. This distinct peat character, combined with traditional distillation methods, results in a whisky that is both deeply complex and unmistakably Islay. Now under the stewardship of luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, Ardbeg continues to uphold its legacy while embracing innovation.
The distillery has earned global acclaim with its award-winning expressions. The Ardbeg Ten Years Old, for instance, was named World Whisky of the Year and Scotch Single Malt of the Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2008. Ardbeg Uigeadail continued this trend, receiving the same accolades in 2009 and 2010. Such recognition cements Ardbeg's status as a producer of exceptional Scotch.
Ardbeg's pioneering spirit extends beyond traditional whisky-making. In 2011, the distillery sent 20 vials of Ardbeg spirit and wood particles to the International Space Station, showcasing its commitment to innovation. Despite its international fame, Ardbeg remains deeply rooted in its local community, employing around sixty staff members who reside locally.
Operating with two pot stills, Ardbeg produces approximately 10,000 casks (1.4 million liters) of spirit annually. The name 'Ardbeg,' derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'An Àird Bheag,' meaning 'The small headland,' is not just a name but a testament to the distillery's connection to the land and community.
Ardbeg's unique geographical location, rich history, award-winning bottlings, and innovative spirit make it a standout name in the world of Scotch whisky, offering a taste experience that is as profound as its heritage.
