MacNair's Lum Reek 70cl Whisky
MacNair's Lum Reek
A smoky blended malt from GlenAllachie Distillers Company, blended by the legendary Billy Walker using peated Islay and Speyside single malt, as well as whisky from the GlenAllachie distillery. Inspiration comes from Victorian distiller Harvey MacNair, as well as the Scottish toast "Long may your lum reek!" (it means "Long may your chimney smoke!"). This expression features whisky aged in first-fill bourbon, Oloroso sherry, virgin oak and red wine casks, and packs a hearty helping of smoke at its core.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Earthy peat and thyme honey. A hint of orange peel cuts through.
Palate
Still packed with dense smoke, though dark chocolate and blackberry notes bring balance to the palate.
Finish
Dry cooking spices and a lasting hint of charred oak.
