Last week, MacNair’s Boutique House of Spirits unveiled the latest expression to join their Blended Malt range: Lum Reek 10-year-old Cask Strength Batch 1.
Expertly curated by legendary Master Blender Billy Walker, this inaugural batch combines Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from Speyside and Islay, two of the most renowned whisky producing regions, including aged GlenAllachie. The spirit then underwent secondary maturation in hand-selected Spanish Sherry casks, wine barriques and virgin oak casks to allow the whiskies to marry and extract additional characteristics from the wood, creating a deliciously sweet yet subtly smoky flavour profile. The resulting spirit was bottled at natural cask strength of 55.4%, non chilfiltered and with no added colouring to deliver the ultimate flavour experience.
Commenting on this exciting, small-batch release, Billy said, “Without a doubt, the most fulfilling element of my role is blending and developing new recipes which enhance the taste experience of individual whiskies.” Described by our Master Blender as “an indulgent amalgamation of dark chocolate fondant, vanilla pods, stem ginger and citrus tones alongside puffs of peat smoke…” this limited expression is certainly not one to miss.
