MacNair's 12yo Lum Reek Peated Small Batch is a delightful blend that combines single malts from the esteemed regions of Islay and Speyside, along with whisky from GlenAllachie. This 12-year-old expression, bottled in 2018 by the GlenAllachie Distillers Company, exemplifies the expertise of master blender Billy Walker. With an ABV of 46% and presented in a 700 ml bottle, this small batch whisky has been meticulously aged in a combination of first-fill bourbon, Pedro Ximenez sherry, and red wine casks. On the nose, it opens with bright, fresh citrus notes, accompanied by vanilla and butterscotch. The aroma is enriched with hints of peat smoke, spicy oak, cloves, cocoa, and a subtle touch of coffee. The taste is creamy and well-balanced, offering sweet vanilla cream, honey, and light fruit notes of peach and apricot. There are intriguing hints of grilled banana and toffee, followed by warming peat smoke, herbal notes, and spices like oak, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of cinnamon. The finish is medium to long, starting sweet with creamy honey and peat smoke, then evolving towards dry with spicy oak, cloves, allspice, and a touch of ash. MacNair's Lum Reek 12-year-old is an impeccably balanced and accessible whisky, ideal for those beginning their journey into smoky whiskies. It manages to maintain the character of GlenAllachie while enhancing the palate with other carefully selected malts, resulting in a complex and enjoyable dram.
