MacNair's Exploration 7 Year Old Panama Rum.
When it comes to rum, iconic Master Blender Billy Walker searches out the world’s finest and elevates them to optimum flavour experience at The GlenAllachie Distillery through blending and marrying in premium quality casks, assured by decades of masterful expertise.
Panama’s volcanic soil is the ideal growing environment for rum’s key ingredient: sugar cane. This was what drew GlenAllachie’s Master Blender to seek out the best rum the country has to offer.
Initially matured in American oak in the tropical Panamanian climate the spirit was transferred to The GlenAllachie Distillery
in Speyside. Once expertly blended, the rum underwent secondary maturation in Red Wine, Virgin oak and ex-Bourbon
casks.
