Macallan Edition No. 3

The Macallan and Roja Dove - a dynamic and original collaboration.

The Macallan Edition No.3 is the latest release in this innovative annual Series. Like preceding releases, Edition No.3 is an exploration into Macallan's approach to whisky making, exposing the detail of its creation, and offering transparency.

To make Edition No.3 Macallan called on Master Perfumer Roja Dove to provide his remarkable sensory knowledge and experience to describe distinctive aromas in particular oak casks. The power of aroma is unquestionable and it is this power which makes the approach to Edition No.3 truly mesmerizing.

Roja brought his skill to the distillery, nosing a range of whisky samples and providing his thoughts and interpretation of the character and aromas he encountered. Subsequently our Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno utilised Roja’s articulation of aromas to select dominant notes to help shape the final character of Edition No.3.

Drawn from a combination of European and American oak casks, Edition No.3 presents a sweet and fruity character. It balances a heavier base reflective of The Macallan, with citrus, vanilla, florals and fresh cut oak.

The nose is reminiscent of a fine fragrance, the palate is sweet fruit and more, the finish is long, sweet and fruity. Sensory extravaganza!
