Macallan Oscuro Leather Box (2010) 70cl

The Macallan Oscuro came from oak barrels in which dry Oloroso sherry was previously stored. An extraordinarily high proportion of these are “first fill casks”, i.e. barrels that are filled with whisky for the first time. This gives the whisky a rich, deep color and an intense aroma. This Macallan Oscuro was bottled in 2010 at a strength of 46.5%.

The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world.

A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports.

Part of the 1824 range, a beautiful, extremely limited edition Macallan released for travel retail, Oscuro is made with whisky from 1987 and 1997 and is sherried and incredibly rich.
