Product details
The Macallan Edition No.3 is part of the acclaimed Edition Series, an annual collection that explores how different oak cask selections shape character and depth. Released in 2017, Edition No.3 stands out for its collaboration with renowned master perfumer Roja Dove, bringing together the worlds of aroma and whisky creation in a uniquely sensory project. Guided by Dove’s extraordinary sense of smell, the team carefully evaluated numerous samples to identify distinctive aromatic signatures that would define this expression. Crafted from a combination of European and American oak casks, Edition No.3 highlights the importance of aroma in shaping flavor, delivering a beautifully balanced profile that reflects innovation, craftsmanship, and the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence.
The aromatic profile opens with an elegant bouquet reminiscent of fine fragrance, featuring creamy vanilla, delicate florals, and freshly cut oak layered with vibrant citrus notes. Hints of orange oil, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg add warmth and complexity, while subtle chocolate undertones emerge gracefully. On the palate, bright orchard fruits such as apricot, pear, and crisp green apple mingle with sweet vanilla and rich fruit cake character. Gentle spice continues to weave through the experience, supported by polished oak that adds structure and balance. The finish is long, smooth, and fruit-forward, leaving a lingering impression of sweetness, warm spice, and refined oak depth that captures the artistry behind this remarkable limited-edition release.
