Every year Macallan releases an updated series or whiskeys that seek to challenge their approach to whiskey making. Each series offers complete transparency into the details, inspiration, and innovation involved a truly amazing whiskey. Their latest in the series, Macallan Edition No. 3 X Roja Dove ($TBA), called on Master Perfumer Roja Dove. Roja brought his skill to the distillery, by interpreting aromas he encountered sampling a range of whiskey samples. Master Whiskey maker, Bob Dalgarno then took Roja’s articulation to identify dominant notes to shape the final character of Edition No. 3. The result was a combination of American and European oak casks. It presents a sweet and fruity character that is balanced with citrus, vanilla, florals and fresh cut oak. If you love whiskey this would be a great addition to your collection.
