MacNair's Lum Reek 10 year old Cask Strength (Batch 1), 55.4%

Price: 100 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky


No half measures from the Islay whisky components on this one. Toffee, brownies, vanilla essence, and chocolate-dipped orange slices infused with aromas of heathery peat smoke and antiseptic bandages, plus plum, pencil shavings, and cinnamon. Dark chocolate, baked orange, and damsons followed by a peak of clove, pepper, and gentle smoke, backed by ginger loaf, sticky toffee pudding, and licorice. Could be the best hundred bucks you'll ever spend. (600 bottles for the U.S.)
