Macallan Lumina

The Macallan Lumina Quest range (originally released for the Travel Retail market) features four expressions showing off the many, many miles travelled to sources the casks to mature the Speyside whisky. The Lumina expression is made with whisky aged in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, as well as hogsheads. While sherry does get a good look-in with this one, it’s a much more vanilla and toffee-focussed dram. Each single malt within the range is an exploration of flavour and texture, from vibrant and fresh through to rich and intense, concluding with a whisky that signifies the essence of The Macallan. The Macallan Lumina represents the direction of the Quest Collection journey in this warm and smooth whisky . SELECTIVE AND DISCERNING The Macallan Lumina embraces the direction of the journey where old and new worlds combine over 15,000 miles to find three exact casks types. European and American sherry seasoned oak casks are combined with hogsheads casks to create a spirit that is grounded in the old world, but inspired by the new. Characterised by its bold flavours with notes of creamy vanilla, ginger and wood spice, this is a single malt whisky that renews the quest for excellence. With its forest green design, Lumina illustrates the view of the tree canopy and hints of light through the leaves as the journey progresses.
