Do you have to pay 900 for a Macallan to be this good? It seems so. Macallan Oscuro is a high end travel retail exclusive that comes in an enormous box and the bottle is just a piece of art. That alone can explain the price, because the juice inside of it, you can have the same great flavors on a Glendronach that goes for $250. Having said that, this bottle displayed in your bar will give you the status you might look for, but for me, a humble drinker, i will stick to some cheaper and still great drams. Macallan Oscuro is indeed a nice whisky, made of a blend of Macallan whiskies from 1987 and 1997; matured in oloroso sherry cask where it gets the very dark color (oscuro means "Dark" in spanish") and it has been bottled at 46.5%abv. On the nose, on the palate and the aftertaste is a High end glendronach (21yo or more). Hahahaha that is my best description. Lets get in to business: On the nose: chocolate, impalpable sugar, milk powder, coffee, old oranges, toffee, dulce de leche; there is this sweet sugary cinnamon and figs. On the palate, more chocolate, toffee, pepper; it reminds me of any sherry butt Glendronach single cask expression; bitter / citric old oranges. Aftertaste is pretty interesting: some spices come through, it has this mineral type of flavor to it. Oak spice and hints of dark chocolate. Overall this is a perfect dram. One that you should really get for less money. I know you might be paying for the incredible amazing bottle and the brand here, but it wouldn't be fair to say this is not a perfect dram, because it is. 100/100; sláinte mhath friends!
