Character Notes
A dark narcotic boils. Globs of pitch, a pine forest reduced. The cauldron erupts, spitting black lava. Stir in the wormwood and camphor, trailing oak moss, and sphagnum soaked with soldiers’ blood. Now drink this tarry opiate, this entry to a chthonic world.

Second Witch:
"For a charm of pow’rful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble".
All Witches:
"…Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble".
Macbeth Act IV SC.1 LN.18
William Shakespeare

“Our Second Witch hails from Islay’s south coast, and encapsulates all the medicinal quality which this iconic malt is known for. The marriage between charcoal smoke, rich vanilla and brooding dark dried fruit speaks to the marriage of both bourbon and sherry casks and the wonderful darkness you can find from the long maturation of Islay’s traditional medicine.”
Oliver Chilton — Elixir Distillers
Cask Type: Oloroso Sherry Butt & First Fill Bourbon Barrel
