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.
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.

The scent is quite nice and reminds me a bit of the independent version of Macallan by Gordon & MacPhail that I have open now (WB156239). But that's about all the positives about this whisky. It's much worse in taste. It's not a classic sherry liquor (as in the case of Macallan Enigma), but it's not good either. Wood, sweetness, caramel and a hint of sherry effect (I guess "oloroso"). That's practically everything. And the finish is also quite woody.
Adding a little water will make it an even worse, basically unbearable and disgusting affair, from which tannins climb for a hundred hunts. Simple, young and - how else but - overpriced whisky from Macallan distillery. In other words, no surprises.
All in all, 10yo Fine Oak still remains the best official filling from this distillery for me. And the best Macallan ever by far is the independent performance mentioned above.
