MacNaMara Double Matured is a blended Scotch from Pràban na Linne — the same Isle of Skye company behind Té Bheag — finished in Guyanese rum casks and bottled without chill filtration. The key malt is Talisker, whose peppery, maritime character provides the blend's backbone.
The rum cask finishing adds a Caribbean sweetness that complements the Talisker's natural spice. The result is a mellow, sweet-savoury blend with more character than most at its price. The Talisker influence can be felt in the peppery warmth, while the rum adds a smooth, sugary richness.
MacNaMara Double Matured is an excellent-value rum-finished blend. The Talisker backbone, the rum cask sweetness and the non-chill-filtered presentation create a blend with genuine character at an everyday price. An excellent Scotch for this price, as enthusiasts consistently note.
