A LESSON IN TIMING
Macallan Oscuro is made exclusively in oak casks seasoned with Oloroso Sherry. An unusually high proportion of these are first-fill, which gives the whisky 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 beneath the Macallan Estate. It is then matured in dormant casks for at least six months, allowing the flavours to "marry" and harmonise. It undergoes no further reduction in strength and is non-chill filtered at room temperature before being bottled for your enjoyment.

AROMA
Ripe forest fruits, dark chocolate, orange, creamy vanilla.

TASTE
Delicate fruits, rich sweetness and spice. Dried figs, ripe oranges and a hint of crisp apples.
