The 1824 Collection Oscuro Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Pre 2015 Discontinued Bottling) 700ml

Bottle size

The first edition Macallan Oscuro Single Malt, introduced in 2010 before its redesign in 2015, is a silky, sherried scotch whisky from Macallan's Easter Elchies, Craigellachie Distillery and the 1824 Collection's magnum opus, released exclusively to travel-retail markets. Translating to 'dark' in Spanish, the Oscuro is a distinctly 'Macallan' whisky, bottled at a punchy 93-proof and swimming in sherry thanks to its meticulous ageing process, spending a minimum of 18 years in the barrel before an additional 6 months of finishing in 'first fill' Oloroso Sherry Oak casks.

About the brand

The Macallan is easily recognizable as one of the most prolific brands of elite-status single malt Scotch on the market today. The Macallan Distillery was founded in 1824 by school teacher and barley farmer Alexander Reid, soon after the Scottish Excise Act was passed to legalize the distillation of whisky. The brand specializes in high-quality single malt Scotch whisky and is one of the first brands of Scotch to take advantage of the marketability, taste, and profound influence available in the making of premium whisky – the scale of which has afforded Macallan ownership of up to 1/3 of the global single malt Scotch market. This superior whisky combines classic distillation techniques with an innovative specialty in casks, and is the only Scotch distillery in the world to have its own Master of Wood - a role involving sourcing and curating Macallan’s 200,000+ oak barrel stocks derived from trees grown in the US and Spain.

It's a 10/10 for me. Better than 25 sherry cask, rare cask and the likes. Something Macallan do very well

Posted on Aug 25th, 2022

I've tried a lot of Macallan, Glendronach, Glenfarclas, Springbank, and this is easily in my top 3. I prefer sherried malts rather than smoke, and this is unbelievably good. Sweet, some spice, not overly dry but with lots of complexity. A great scotch
