The Macallan – Edition No. 3 (70cl, 48.3%)

This is The Macallan Edition No. 3, a Highland single malt bottled at 48.3% in a 70cl bottle. It belongs to an annual series of special releases. The edition is a collaboration between Macallan Master Distiller Bob Dalgarno and master perfumer Roja Dove. The nose brings sherry, crisp apples, toffee, vanilla and fresh-cut oak. The palate is rich and dark, with fruit cake, orange zest, green apples, vanilla, butterscotch and cream, and a soft, warm mouthfeel. The finish is long and spicy, with caramel, honey, green apples and a hint of florals.
