** Disclaimer: This review is what I would consider a “Quick Hit”- meaning I won’t have my usual in-depth notes that I usually like to take. The reason: this sample was poured at Whiskyfest DC on 4/17/18. All of these reviews will not be scored and I am actively looking to try them again at some point to do them more justice.
I’ve had some interest in opening and searching for these Macallan Edition series bottles, so I was kind of excited to try a sample of Edition 3 at the festival. The nose on this was incredible- tons of flavors, florals and oak. The flavor profile couldn’t, and didn’t, live up to the nose IMO. If I can’t locate a bottle of the first edition soon I’ll probably resort to opening the second and third versions. Maybe an entire bottle will prove to be more enjoyable than this sample ultimately was. Also, the Macallan booth had some very pretty ladies giving out the pours, but they sure were stingy, lol.

@PBMichiganWolverine - the ladies at the Macallan and HP booth were completely hot and very friendly. A good way to distract you when they don’t pour enough whisky to get a quality taste. This was also the 4-5th taste of the evening. So, I was still good. Hell, I only had 25 total pours.
@LeeEvolved how many pours were you in at this point? Just wondering if they were really ladies. 😀
