Billy Walker der blandt andet står GlenAllachie, har i en længere periode udgivet whisky og rum under navnet MacNair’s.
Her findes en serie af blended whisky, kaldet Lum Reek.
Han kommer nu, som de andre steder han har været ansvarlig for, en 10 års Cask Strength Batch aftapning.
Lum Reek 10 CS er en blend af single malt whiskies fra Speyside og Islay.
"The aged whiskies were personally sourced by Walker before being blended together with GlenAllachie Single Malt. The spirit was then re-racked into specially selected Spanish Sherry casks, wine barriques and virgin oak casks for secondary maturation, allowing the whiskies to marry and additional characteristics to be attained from the wood. "
Billy Walker siger: “Without a doubt, the most fulfilling element of my role is blending and developing new recipes which enhance the taste experience of individual whiskies. MacNair’s Lum Reek allows me to think outside of the box and blend such a wide variety of Single Malts from across Scotland to achieve the profile I am looking for. ”

Skrevet af MacNiels
Der har i de sidste par været en del ældre aftapninger, både fra destillerierne, men også fra uafhængige aftappere. Nu melder Macallan sig på banen med denne 81 år gammel aftapning, destillereret i 1940 og nu aftappet 81 år efter.
Det er er en single cask aftapning, aftappet ved 41,5%
"While the deep auburn liquid has a gentle smoothness, in keeping with The Macallan’s signature taste, the complexity of its profile offers an array of flavours. There is a rich, sweet smokiness, attributable to the peat used when malting the barley and firing the stills during this period in time. The smoky note is subtle but unmistakable, complemented with antique oak. "
Og i vanlig Macallan stil, så får man selvfølgelig et spektakulær indpakning med. Ikke nok med en træ æske, men også en bronce skulptur der holder flasken
Noter (Macallan)
Nose: Dark chocolate, sweet cinnamon, aromatic peat, plums, leather, pink grapefruit, redcurrant jelly and a rich resinous note.
Palate: Treacle toffee, bramble jam, licorice, crystalised ginger, nutmeg, charred pineapple, pecans and woodsmoke.
Finish: Intensely rich, sweet and smoky.
