Macallan – Concept Number 3 (70cl, 40.8%)

Macallan – Concept Number 3 is a whisky from Macallan (Speyside). Bottled at 40.8% ABV, 70cl. The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors. A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports. In 2018, Macallan released the first in their Concept series; a limited annual release celebrating bold visionaries who dare to think beyond traditional boundaries. This series joins the Rare Cask and Quest collections as a travel retail exclusive. Number 3 is inspired by the worlds of whisky and design - with the label depicting the unique graphics designs of David Carson - who is one of the most influential and revolutionary contemporary graphic designers, he has brought his unique perspective and methods into designing Concept No.3
