The Macallan Oscuro is a luxurious expression crafted exclusively from Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak casks, with an exceptionally high proportion of first-fill casks contributing to its deep natural colour and rich, layered complexity. Bottled at 46.5% ABV, the whisky is gently reduced with spring water from The Macallan Estate and then left to marry for at least six months before final bottling. Non-chill filtered and natural in colour, Oscuro reflects The Macallan’s signature elegance and cask mastery.
