Description
The Macallan 1824 Series Oscuro Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml is a discontinued, rare, and highly sought-after expression known for its rich, complex sherry-seasoned character. It is available from various online and local retailers, though prices are high due to its rarity.
The Oscuro, meaning ‘dark’ in Spanish, is primarily matured in an exceptionally high proportion of first-fill Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks, which contribute to its deep color and intense flavor profile. It is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46.5% ABV.
- Nose: Complex aromas of ripened woodland fruits, dark chocolate, orange, and creamy vanilla.
- Palate: A rich blend of delicate fruits, intense sweetness and spice, with notes of dried figs, ripe oranges, and crisp apples. Some reviewers note flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla cream, and spice cake.
- Finish: Described as full and lingering, warming with hints of oak tannins and a touch of wood smoke.
- Color: Deep mahogany/burnished copper.
Reviews widely praise the Macallan Oscuro as a phenomenal, complex, and “flawless” sherry bomb. Reviewers rate this highly, calling it “absolutely fantastic” and an “explosion of class”.
