Macallan – Edition No3 (70cl, 48.3%)

Macallan – Edition No3 is a whisky from Macallan (Speyside). Bottled at 48.3% 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. Edition No.3 is a collaboration between master blender Bob Dalgarno and the master perfumer Roja Dove. The distinctive and dynamic character of Edition No.3 has been shaped not only by the use of European and American Oak casks, combining flavours to reflect each of their distinctive personalities in the resulting whisky.
