William Shakespeare's Whisky Liqueur - Experience the
timelessness of a bygone age...
The recipe used harks back to Shakespeare's day
when whisky was mixed with oranges and caramel.
This gave the whisky a unique tangy flavour while
retaining the smooth, silky taste of caramel.
The Liqueur is packaged in an antique type bottle
similar to those used the sixteenth century. A copy
of William Shakespeare's Last Will & Testament
bearing his signature is wrapped around the bottle
neck. On the reverse of the Will is an except from
Macbeth. This, together with the authentic orange
and whisky flavour of 20% alcohol by volume,
provides a unique experience by capturing the
spirit of Shakespeare's world.
William Shakespeare, when writing plays such as
Macbeth, King Lear and Cymbeline, referred to
historical texts, many of which detailed the usage
of whisky and the effects that this potent drink can
have. In Macbeth, known by Thespians as 'The
Scottish Play,' the porter talks of the drink being
the provoker of three things. Capturing the spirit
of
Shakespeare's world, this exquisite combination of
whisky and orange and its stylish packaging is a
new production receiving huge applause.
