Livingstone - Macbeth Whisky Tasting

Livingstone presents Macbeth, A Scotch Whisky Collection of 42 characters, with character notes by Dave Broom, whiskies by Elixir Distillers and illustrations by Sir Quentin Blake.

"I have worked in whisky, on the design side, for a long time. Over the years, I’ve grown increasingly fascinated and read extensively on the industry, absorbed by histories of distilleries and the people around them - stories of allegiances and collective endeavour, but also ruthless ambition and intense rivalries. I thought “this is just like Macbeth”.

And that was it. The whole structure appeared in that one moment; the most famous Scottish play full of fantastic characters from across Scotland, bright to dark, light to heavy, from every class and realm, at different ages, all waiting to be cast as Scotch whiskies. And the fixed number of characters meant the series would be finite – key to creating a meaningful collection."
