Macallan Master Blender Bob Dalgarno called upon the sensory skills of Master Perfumer Roja Dove to help create the third edition in its annual series. A variety of whisky samples were brought to Dove, who then described the notes of each sample to help Dalgarno form Edition No. 3. Using a combination of European and American oak casks, the whisky is described as having a notes and flavors of vanilla, fruit cake, citrus, dark chocolate, and burnished oak.
