The Macallan Edition No.3 is the result of a collaboration between Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno and Roja Dove, one of the world's most innovative and respected perfumers. Exceptional oak casks are the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, natural colours and distinctive aromas and flavours of The Macallan. The Power of aroma in whisky-making is unquestionable and it is this power which makes the approach to Edition No.3 truly mesmerizing. This limited-edition whisky has been shaped not only by the use of exceptional oak casks but also by the sensory and aroma adventure of the collaborators. Roja brought his skill to the distillery, nosing a range of whisky sample and interpreting the character and aromas he encountered. Bob then utilised Roja's articulation of aromas to select dominant notes, balancing the dried fruits and citrus of the Hudosa cask, the light vanilla flavours of the bourbon cask and the florals and fresh cut oak from European and American oak casks, with the Sherry element and heavier notes from Tevasa casks which The Macallan is renowned for.

Macallan

Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, the Elchies Distillery as it was known initially, did not become the Macallan-Glenlivet in name until 1892. Since then, it has undergone massive expansion with Edrington and William Grant & Sons combining forces in 1999 to purchase Highland Distillers for £601 million. By then, the reputation of the distillery for its sherry-led style of whisky was already firmly in place. The new ownership model has enabled the distillery to produce new ranges, reach out to new demographics and establish itself as an international brand of quality. Bottles are Macallan are increasingly sought after for their commodity value and not the contents, which often are of high quality. Moving to a new distillery site in recent years, will in the long-term, allow Macallan to produce more and if needed, the old distillery sits idle despite being capable of producing 11 million litres before it closed in 2018.
