The Macallan Edition No.3

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 48.3%

Aroma is an integral part of the whisky tasting experience, which is why Macallan Edition No. 3 so exciting: it has been created in conjunction with Roja Dove, one of the most respected 'noses' in the perfume industry. The resulting liquid is a combination of six American and European oak casks, with deliciously sweet, floral notes up front.

Tasting Note

Nose

Reminiscent of a fine fragrance, the nose leads with vanilla ice cream, fresh cut oak and delicate florals. Orange oil provides subtle grandeur while ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg flit in and out in various guises. Vanilla imparts sweetness, leading citrus fruits forward then allowing chocolate to show. Burnished oak delivers a soft ending.

Palate

A sensory journey of flavour and aroma intimately entwined, the palate is sweet fruit and vanilla and rich fruit cake with suggestions of apricot, pear and crisp green apple. Hints of ginger are balanced with a light resinous oak finale.

Finish

The finish is long, sweet and fruity, leaving a lasting impression on the senses.
