MacNair's Lum Reek 21-Year-Old is a blended malt crafted from Islay and Speyside single malts, combining peated and unpeated spirits for a complex profile. Aged in Oloroso sherry, red wine, and virgin oak casks, this whisky offers notes of dark chocolate, vanilla fudge, and subtle peat smoke, with a rich butterscotch color.
MacNair's Boutique House of Spirits is a premium spirits brand that was revitalized under the expertise of Master Blender Billy Walker, who joined the brand with over 50 years of industry experience. Originally inspired by its 19th-century founder, Harvey MacNair, the brand focuses on creating high-quality small-batch spirits with meticulous craftsmanship.
Their whisky range, known as Lum Reek, combines peated and unpeated single malts from renowned Scotch regions like Islay and Speyside, aged in a variety of casks, including Oloroso sherry, red wine, and virgin oak, to create complex and well-balanced flavors.
MacNair’s has also expanded into rum with the Exploration Rum series, crafted with the same dedication to maturation and cask selection, blending rums aged in both tropical climates and the cooler environment of GlenAllachie Distillery in Speyside.
