MacNair's Lum Reek 12 Year Old (Old Bottling)
MacNair's
Tasting Notes
Imagine a sip that transports you to the rugged Scottish coastline, where the salty sea breeze mingles with the earthy aroma of smoldering peat. The MacNair's Lum Reek 12 Year Old is a masterful blend of peated Islay and Speyside whiskies, infused with the rich, fruity notes of GlenAllachie single malt. From the moment you pour, the roasted coffee and caramel aromas beckon you to dive in. On the palate, a harmonious dance unfolds – roasted chestnuts, salted butter, and luscious caramel envelop your senses, while hints of poached pear linger beneath, adding a subtle sweetness. As the flavors linger, the smoky peat and barley notes emerge, leaving a delightful touch of menthol on the finish. This whisky pays homage to the Victorian distiller Harvey MacNair and the timeless Scottish toast, "Long may your lum reek!" – a celebration of tradition and the art of masterful blending.
