The final release of the "Concept" travel retail series, the Macallan Concept No. 3 has been made by establishing a collaboration with David Carson, a famous Graphic designer. I got to say that i really liked the Concept No. 2; and i had high hopes for this one. Bottled at 40.8%abv, Burnished gold On the nose, a beautiful vanilla and a creamy chocolate. Sawdust, hazelnut, hints of bee honey. There is a slight note of burnt hay. There is a burnt pineapple somewhere. Very appealing on the nose. It has the typical Macallan profile, coffee and bitter cocoa. Capuccino. Some herbal profile as well. Feels nice that Macallan is going back to its roots on this one, at least on the nose. Wonderful coffee beans and honey note. Perfect score here. On the palate, it was ok. Honey, toffee, sawdust and oak spice. There is this pear peel note. Oaky, bitter, and not very sweet. Aftertaste wasn't the best, without been off-putting. Burnt grass finish. Tobacco and bitter spices. Soft and short finish. In conclusion, i really liked the nose on this one, and that saves the overall score. I don't think it is a bad dram, i believe that Macallan fans will be somehow pleased with this one, but single malt enthusiasts will only appreciate the effort of Macallan to look like a little bit as their older expressions. It is boring on the palate and the finish is short. It lacks some power, but in no way this is a bad dram. I believe my 85 over 100 score is fair for it.
