Macallan Edition No.3 (70cl, 48.3%)
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.

The resulting liquid is a combination of six American and European oak casks, with deliciously sweet, floral notes up front.
This is a collaboration between Bob Dalgarno and Master Perfumer, Roja Dove.
The liquid has been matured in the following types of cask:
1st fill Hudosa Butt
2nd fill Butt
1st fill American Tevasa butts and puncheons.
1st fill European Tevasa hogsheads.
1st fill Bourbon hogsheads and barrels.

Glenlivet 12 Year Old Illicit Still (70cl, 48%)
