Product description
The Macallan Concept, introduced 2018, is a limited edition series, that combines the artistry and expertise behind whisky making with creativity and culture.
The third and final installment in the Concept Series was launched in June 2021 and brings together whisky and design through the collaboration with David Carson, one of the most influential and revolutionary contemporary graphic designers. Carson brought his perspective and unique style to the design of Concept no. 3. He was inspired by his time spent at the Macallan Estate working alongside Macallan’s whisky maker, Polly Logan. Best known for his innovative magazine design and use of experimental typography, David has designed the pack and label for the third and final chapter in the Concept range. Concept No. 3 was crafted from predominantly first-fill American oak sherry casks with a little addition of European oak and virgin oak casks. (Producer’s note.)
