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.
Earthy peat and thyme honey. A hint of orange peel cuts through.
Still packed with dense smoke, though dark chocolate and blackberry notes bring balance to the palate.
Dry cooking spices and a lasting hint of charred oak.
Yeah that was decent, no idea what I thinking when I ordered as traditionally speaking I'm not keen on smoke, but I really enjoyed this, clearly a good 'drunk' purchase
Really enjoyed this - Billy walker really knows what he's doing when it comes to blending
Pricey enough for a blend - but what a blend it is! Beautifully balanced, it's one of those contemplative drams that you can take your time over. A harmonious marriage of Speyside and Islay - who'd a thunk it? Gorgeous.
Amazing smokey finish!
lovely and well balanced, surprisingly good dram!
