"The cleanest, most juicy grape dripping into a puddle of molten muscovado sugar; amazed I have not been attacked by wasps while tasting this... oh, if all sherried whiskies could be that kind - and taste-bud-blowingly fabulous!" Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2015
Provenance: The Formosa Cellar
Notes: OC. "The Macallan Oscuro 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 . . . . When the casks are at the peak of maturation, the whisky is gently reduced to 46.5% alcohol by volume with natural spring water drawn from boreholes deep under The Macallan Estate. It is then matured in slumbering casks for at least six months, thereby allowing the flavours to 'marry' and harmonise. It undergoes no further strength reduction . . ."
