Tasting Notes
From the distillery: In the glass, copper bronze. On the nose, sweet peat reek, butterscotch, warming mocha, and gentle nutmeg. On the palate, lashings of heather honey, rich toffee, and sweet spices, all with undertones of peat
Method
MacNair’s Lum Reek 12-year-old combines Single Malts from Islay and Speyside – two of the most renowned whisky producing regions in Scotland. The recipe, created by industry veteran and Master Distiller/Blender of the Year, Billy Walker, includes both peated and unpeated whiskies, including aged GlenAllachie single malt.
The small batch expression was matured at The GlenAllachie Distillery in a combination of first fill Bourbon, Pedro Ximénez and red wine casks until the whisky reached its optimum. The consequential bronze spirit, offered without added colouring or chill-filtration, reveals sophisticated notes of sweet peat reek, warming mocha, Scottish heather, and butterscotch. 46% abv.
Our Thoughts
So aromatic; fresh baked cookies, almonds, fresh ripe raspberries, and vanilla bean with some moss and earth. Bright fruit, grippy wood tannins, cinnamon, and smoke on the finish.
