Limited Edition Decanter – The Macallan Oscuro

The Macallan Monday

Next up for Macallan Monday is this beautiful, extremely limited edition, Macallan Oscuro from the 1824 Collection Series. This whisky’s sherry seasoned heritage and luscious richness is the inspiration for its name, meaning ‘dark’ in Spanish.

The Macallan Oscuro

The Macallan Oscuro is made with whisky from between 1987 and 1997 and 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, hence the name ‘Oscuro’.

The 1824 Collection

The Macallan 1824 Collection is an exclusive, luxury range within The Macallan portfolio that charts a path through the supreme quality of The Macallan’s unique sherry casks, increasing in scarcity and rarity through each expression.

All of the whiskies in the range are painstakingly hand selected by The Macallan’s Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno. First-fill, 100% sherry-seasoned casks showcase the beautiful spectrum of the 100% natural color in The Macallan.

It also celebrates whiskies that are increasingly darker and richer in flavor as one progresses up through the range. With each expression, the whisky complexity increases, as does its hue of natural color, as well as the intricacy of the decanter.
