Blended Malt
MacNair's // Scotland
MacNair's Lum Reek Peated 12 Year is a blended malt incorporating peated single malts from both Islay and Speyside as well as aged single malt from GlenAllachie. Aged for 12 years, this release matured in a variety of casks including first-fill bourbon, oloroso sherry, virgin oak, and red wine.

Tasting Notes
"Very light and gentle peat with a nice earthy touch, but also apricots, vanilla pods and peaches. There's a whisper of melted butter and pralines too. The palate has a creamy texture and good balance between the sherry and peaty notes. The subtle spices (pepper, nutmeg) enhance the dried red fruits, creosote and diesel oil. More depth and richness compared to it's younger sibling."
