Description
The Macallan Oscuro is a whisky that is made from a blend of Oloroso Sherry and other casks. The whisky is then matured for at least six months in slumbering casks before being bottled. The whisky has a burnished copper color and a rich, luscious flavor. The whisky has a delicate fruit flavor with a hint of spice and a finish that is full and lingering.
Dark, lusciously rich and satisfying.
The Macallan Oscuro'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 for your enjoyment.
