The Intersection of Scent and Spirit
The Macallan Edition No. 3 explores the complex sensory world of flavor through the lens of aroma. This third release in the celebrated annual Edition Series saw Master Distiller Bob Dalgarno partner with Roja Dove, one of the world’s most respected perfumers. Together, they identified the most evocative aromas in Macallan’s oak casks to create a multi-sensory experience that is as fragrant as it is flavorful.
Expert Cask Curation
To achieve its unique character, Edition No. 3 was drawn from a combination of six distinct European and American oak cask types:
-
First-fill Bourbon Barrels: For sweetness and vanilla.
-
European Oak Butts & Puncheons: Delivering rich, dry oak and spice notes.
-
Tevasa & Hudosa Casks: Adding depth and traditional Sherry-seasoned complexity.
Official Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Reminiscent of a fine fragrance. Leading with vanilla ice cream, fresh-cut oak, and delicate florals. Hints of orange oil, ginger, and cinnamon add a layer of grandeur.
-
Palate: Sweet and fruity. A delicious blend of vanilla and rich fruit cake with notes of apricot, pear, and crisp green apple.
-
Finish: Long, sweet, and lingering with a touch of light resinous oak and warming spice.
