Macallan Concept Number 3 is the third release in The Macallan Concept Series, created in collaboration with renowned graphic designer David Carson. This edition explores the intersection of whisky making and visual design, pairing bold contemporary artwork with a classic Macallan flavor profile.

Matured in a combination of ex sherry seasoned oak casks and ex bourbon barrels, this expression highlights the distillery’s signature balance while introducing bright fruit driven notes and gentle spice. Produced in limited annual quantities, Concept Number 3 is sought after for its artistic presentation and connection to modern design culture rather than extreme scarcity. It is an excellent bottle for collectors who appreciate creative packaging as well as for drinkers who want a distinctive yet approachable Macallan release.
