The Macallan Edition No. 3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid began renting the home from Sir Lewis Grant of Grant. Reid was a farmer, and soon after he sowed the fields surrounding the home with barley, Reid established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. In the winter — when there was little activity on the farm — Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains into whisky, which was often drunk straight from the still or sold to travelers passing through the town. Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estate's Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky.

Tasting Notes

The nose harbors refined notes of sweet vanilla, oak, and delicate floral aromas. This is followed by citrus essential oils, baking spice and ginger, cocoa, and soft oak. The palate is not cloyingly sweet with flavors of fruit, vanilla and crisp orchard fruits, folowed by baking spices and powerful oak. The finish leaves a beautiful impression on the senses with a lingering, sweet, delicious fruit note.
