The Macbeth Series by Livingstone is a Scotch Whisky collection selected and bottled by Elixir distillers. This remarkable collection is presented with character notes by renowned whisky writer David Broom, and illustrations by one of Europe’s most famous illustrators, Sir Quentin Blake.
In a career spanning seven decades, Sir Quentin Blake has illustrated over 300 books including classic works by Roald Dahl such as The BFG, Matilda, and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. He rarely produces any commercial illustration and his work is highly collectable.
The Servant is one of ten characterful whiskies in The Household series. Distilled at Clynelish, this single malt was exclusively matured in bourbon barrels for 14 years.
Notes about the Servant from Oliver Chilton of Elixer Distillers:
“Clynelish is one of the most sought after and revered malts, loved for its unique waxy character. For a blender however, it can be the foundation to build a blend, allowing other malts to shine. This particular whisky, fully matured in first fill bourbon, wears its responsibility for service well, with the butterscotch sweetness and candlewax texture supported by ground ginger and toasted vanilla. This is certainly a supporting character to take note of, as you rarely get to see it centre stage.”
The Macbeth Collection is an exclusive whisky series created by Livingstone and whisky specialist Elixir Distillers, inspired by William Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth. The collection consists of 42 unique whiskies from various Scottish distilleries, each representing a character from the play.
