‘Revenges burn in them, for their dear causes would, to the bleeding and the grim alarm, excite the mortified man.’ The speaker of these immortal words is Menteith, a nobleman who marches to oppose Macbeth in the play’s final act. To portray this herald of battle, Elixir Distillers head blender Oliver Chilton selected bourbon barrels from Benriach distillery in the Scottish Highlands. At 31-years-old this is a deep, earthy dram that balances wild notes of hedgerow and forest floor with the nuttiness and rich vanilla characteristic of good-quality American oak. Menteith is one of 12 noble malts chosen to embody The Thanes in this series inspired by The Tragedy of Macbeth. Each one was based on a character sketch created by celebrated whisky writer Dave Broom and further brought to life with illustrations by Sir Quentin Blake.

Benriach, a Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey, has a unique whisky manufacturing history that dates back to 1898 when founder John Duff constructed his distillery. Without this tradition, Benriach would not be the interesting and exceptional whisky that it is today. Benriach is a ruggedly picturesque distillery in north Speyside that draws water from a mineral-rich aquifer deep underneath the distillery. It is located on the site of the former Riach farm. Our whiskey producers are free to explore the full flavor potential of single malt, producing some of the richest, most multi-layered whiskies in Speyside, thanks to a long-standing history of distilling three varieties of whisky: traditional unpeated, Highland peated, and triple distilled. Under the direction of Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, this custom is being practiced today. The tale of Benriach tells of a Speyside jewel that has been kept concealed but is now slowly disclosing its delights for everyone to enjoy.
