- Description
- MacNair's Lum Reek 12 Year Old blends peated and unpeated malts from Speyside and Islay, matured in red wine, Pedro Ximénez sherry, and bourbon casks to create a complex flavour profile. The combination delivers peat smoke complemented by rich fruit notes from the wine casks, with a texture that's full and warming. This is the whisky to toast with—true to its name meaning 'long may your chimney smoke'.
