What wizardry is this? The work of GlenAllachie’s Master Blender, and all-around spirit industry legend Billy Walker, that’s what! Exquisite rum distilled at Jamaica’s Clarendon Distillery is transported to the cooler climate of Scotland, to rest up in the warehouses of GlenAllachie. High, medium, and low ester rums are initially matured in a combo of American and French ex-rye, ex-Rioja, and virgin oak casks, before being cleverly blended. The rum was then filled into a cask that previously held GlenAllachie’s own peated Scotch whisky, imparting layers of woody smoke and barbecue spice to the ester-rich rum within. We said it was wizardry.

MacNair’s Exploration Rum Jamaica Peated | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Huge helpings of charred pineapple and banana chips, smoked oak, creamy butterscotch, and distant barbecues.

Palate: Mango salsa comes to mind, with smoked chilli and flamed citrus peels. Sticky caramel, earthen vanilla, and bittersweet dark chocolate join.

Finish: A prickle of root ginger on the finish, with hearty oak char and rich, funky cane.

Distillery Information

The GlenAllachie Distillers Company is no longer just home to whisky. Back in 2021, it branched into rum with a range of small-batch expressions called Exploration Rum. The three bottlings will be released under The GlenAllachies MacNairs brand, which has been repositioned as a Boutique House of Spirits, complete with a new-look design for its Lum Reek whisky brand. The distillery sources rum from the likes of Panama and then uses its vast network of casks for adding interesting finishes. The process is overseen by GlenAllachie master blender Billy Walker, who says he is fulfilling a long-held desire to explore and apply my expertise to a new spirit category, having already made a sizeable impact in Scotch whisky. He explains that rum was a natural choice for him as, like whisky, it allows for greater scope of innovation and experimentation, particularly in regard to maturation and that this trio of rums will explore the influence of wood, but also the impact of maturation in a cooler climate.
