The Macallan Concept Number 3 David Carson Single Malt Whisky 700ML

Macallan Concept Number 3 / David Carson Single Malt Whisky

The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then, Macallan has built a reputation as one of the worlds leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.
The Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was Maghellan, taken from the Gaelic word magh, meaning fertile ground and Ellan, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.

Concept Number 3 is the third and final release in the Concept Series a collection that fuses the artistry and expertise behind whisky making with creativity and culture.
David Carson, one of the most influential and revolutionary contemporary graphic designers, has designed the pack and label for the third and final addition to the Concept range. He was inspired by his time spent at The Macallan Estate working alongside The Macallans Whisky Maker, Polly Logan.
Released in mid-2021, Concept Number 3 has been created to deliver a richness from first fill sherry butts, enhanced by sweetness and freshness from ex-bourbon barrels, with balance and spice which can be attributed to the specially selected refill and virgin American Oak casks.

Nose: Sweet fresh pear and apricot, gentle oak spice cinnamon and ginger. Vanilla with sweet citrus.

Taste: Warming oak spice, apple, pear, vanilla with a delicate herbal influence. Full creamy mouthfeel like a pasteis de nata.

Finish: Medium sweet with pastry.
