THE WITCHES SERIES

ABOUT THE FIRST WITCH
The First Witch is one of four smoky whiskies in The Witches series.
“We’re launching with a smoky Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky aged 19 years for the First Witch. This is a fantastic example
of a distillate I adore from high up on Islay’s Kildalton coast,
with a rich maturity delivered using Pedro Ximenez casks.
As we develop The Witches,
we’ll embrace the blending analogy with the fourth release,
Hekate, ruler of the witches,
as a blend of the first three.”

FIRST WITCH:
But in a sieve I’ll thither sail And, like a rat without a tail, I’ll do, I’ll do, and I’ll do.
MACBETH ACT I, SC.3, LN. 8
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
There, on the little promontory, a peat fire smoulders
by a soot-blackened cave. Guttering light, tattered oil cloth, a weird medicine
swirling in the cauldron.
A promise, a contract,
the draw of a world
of smoke and tar, fish livers, and enveloping violet night.
