Craftsmanship and Innovation

With only 20,000 bottles available worldwide, this 17-year-old “Collectible” edition is a treasure for whisky aficionados. Bottled at a robust 49.2% ABV, it underwent a meticulous maturation journey, starting in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and finishing in a unique assemblage of casks, including rare vintage Calvados apple brandy casks, sherry barrels, and rich red wine barriques. This complex seven-cask finish imbues the whisky with layered flavors of orchard fruits, warm spices, and confectionery sweetness.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep amber gold, with a warm glow.
• Nose: Bright orchard fruits, Madagascan vanilla, and cinnamon.
• Palate: Rich butterscotch, baked apple, dark chocolate, and soft wood spices.
• Finish: Long and warming, with notes of dried apricots, ripe blackberries, and buttery pastry.

Perfect Pairings

Indulge in decadent desserts like dark chocolate truffles or apple tarte tatin to complement the whisky’s flavors. For savory options, try roast duck with orange sauce or seared steak with fig reduction. A fine cigar, such as a Partagás Serie D No.4, will harmonize beautifully with the Luminary’s complex notes.
