Macallan Concept 3

Concept Number 3 is the third and final release in the Concept Series. The Macallan Concept No. 3 brings together the world of whisky and design through this collaboration with David Carson.

The third instalment of Macallan’s esteemed Concepts series, the Concept Number 3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky brings together whisky and design with its latest collaborative offering, this time combining with pioneering contemporary graphic designer David Carson. Renowned for his distinctive, experimental style, Carson’s label is yet another iconic artistic expression that graces the classic Macallan silhouette, with the Concept Number 3’s bold, unmistakable aesthetic exclusively available in travel retail markets (2020 release).

The whisky is formidable, a sherry-butt ex bourbon barrel single malt bottled at 80.6 proof, instilled with a remarkable degree of complexity – the profile spans sour citrus, sherry undertones and creamy vanilla, with a slightly oily and sweet mouthfeel that coats the throat before giving way to a lengthy finish swimming with orange zest.
