The third release in The Macallan's wood-focused Edition series saw master perfumer Roja Dove and master whisky maker Bob Dalgarno create a whisky using their very particular sets of skills. Dove pinned down the flavour profile for Edition No. 3 by using the same formula he would for a perfume: pinpointing complementary aromas and balancing these with a “counterpoint” note.
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.
