Description
A beautiful, extremely limited edition Macallan released for travel retail, Oscuro is made with whisky from 1987 and 1997 and it’s sherried and incredibly rich.
This whisky’s sherry seasoned heritage and luscious richness is the inspiration for its name, meaning ‘dark’ in Spanish.
The Macallan Oscuro is drawn exclusively from oak casks seasoned with Oloroso Sherry. An exceptionally high proportion of these are first fill, which endow the whisky with a rich, deep colour and intense flavour.
When the casks are at the peak of maturation, the whisky is gently reduced to 46.5% alcohol by volume with natural spring water drawn from boreholes deep under The Macallan Estate. It is then matured in slumbering casks for at least six months, allowing the flavours to ‘marry’ and harmonise. It undergoes no further strength reduction and is non-chill filtered at ambient room temperature before being bottled.

What our whisky loving friends have said about The Macallan Oscuro
Quote 1 “Bought on a cruise ship while on vacation. Amazing to taste. I added one cube of ice and it totally changed the flavor and was even more amazing. A must buy if u have the chance. It did taste comparable to the rare cask though.”
Quote 2 “Amazing taste with a smoothness that was as good as the 25yr. Best scotch I’ve had bar none. Just wish I had more.”
Quote 3 “By far the best I’ve ever tasted! So smooth, so many amazing flavors! Definitely worth the money.”
