The newest scotch from Billy Walker


DECADES OF KNOWLEDGE
Billy Walker, master distiller at The GlenAllachie Distillery, is one of most famous names in the Scotch whisky business
. Billy Walker is amongst the most respected blenders in Scotland, having developed countless award-winning Scotch whiskies across his 50-year tenure in the industry.
Known for his flair for innovation, meticulous wood policy, and vigilant hands-on approach to monitoring all stages of production, Billy is continuing the experimental “spirit” of Harvey MacNair… with a little more scientific accuracy!
Now venturing into new spirits categories, Billy is using his decades of knowledge to bottle only the finest quality small-batch spirits from around the world, with a unique and innovative twist!  Reputation earned, expectations exceeded.

Macnair's Lum Reek 12 Year Peated Scotch....$67.99
MacNair’s Lum Reek 12-year-old combines Single Malts from Islay and Speyside – two of the most renowned whisky producing regions in Scotland. The recipe, created by industry veteran and Master Distiller/Blender of the Year, Billy Walker, includes both peated and unpeated whiskies, including aged GlenAllachie single malt.
The small batch expression was matured at The GlenAllachie Distillery in a combination of first fill Bourbon, Pedro Ximénez and red wine casks until the whisky reached its optimum. The consequential bronze spirit, offered without added colouring or chill-filtration, reveals sophisticated notes of sweet peat reek, warming mocha, Scottish heather, and butterscotch.
Our Lum Reek 12-year-old has won some incredible global accolades, including Double Gold (San Francisco World Spirits Competition, 2021), Best Blended Malt under 12 Years (World Whiskies Awards, 2020), and Gold (Scotch Whisky Masters, 2021).
