Macallan Oscuro Release 2010 The 1824 Collection Limited Edition Sherry Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46.5% Vol. - limited special bottling of a great Macallan Highland Single Malt!
The Macallan Oscuro The 1824 Collection Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 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. This sherry seasoned heritage and luscious richness is the inspiration for its name Oscuro, meaning dark in Spanish. 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, thereby 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 and satisfaction.
The colour is burnished copper. The nose open with ripened woodland fruits and slowly reveals dark chocolate, orange and creamy vanilla. The palate is soft with dried figs, ripe orange and a hint of crisp, green apple. The finish is full and a hint of warming woodsmoke lingers. A beautiful, extremely limited edition Macallan released for travel retail, Oscuro is a combination of casks of whisky distilled between 1987 and 1997. They have combined the collectability of Macallan with their trademark rich sherried elegance to create a much sought after whisky - it's sherried and incredibly rich.
