Every path through The Macallan Estate begins beneath a canopy of oaks, some ancient, some freshly planted, all part of the brand’s obsession with wood. The Macallan Lumina captures that journey in liquid form. It’s a tribute to the endless pursuit of excellence in cask selection, matured in three types of seasoned oak: European and American sherry casks, and American hogsheads. Rich, bold, and radiant, Lumina is the glowing midpoint of Macallan’s Quest Collection, where heritage meets modernity in perfect balance.

Tasting Profile
Nose: Aromatic and layered, green apples, ginger, and creamy vanilla rise first, followed by fresh oak and a whisper of raisin.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering spice and soft fruit, like the glow of sunset through an orchard.

Production Details
Lumina is matured in a carefully calibrated mix of sherry-seasoned European oak, sherry-seasoned American oak, and refill American oak hogsheads.

Customer Reviews
“Feels like drinking autumn, warm, spicy, and just a little mysterious.”   Joaquin D.
“Big Macallan energy. It’s like a younger brother of the 18, bold, but smoother than expected.”   Ralph P.

Interesting Fact
The name “Lumina” refers to light guiding through forest paths, a nod to Macallan’s 370 mile journey across oak forests in the U.S. and Europe to source the perfect wood for aging.

Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed neat, but a few drops of water will draw out the citrus and soften the spice. Try it in a whisky tulip glass to focus the aromatics. Skip the ice, Lumina was made to glow at room temperature.

Perched above the River Spey with a state of the art distillery hidden beneath the hills, it combines cutting-edge innovation with Old World discipline. Lumina continues that legacy, inviting explorers to taste the light that guides every cask-forward decision.
