Product description
The 1824 Collection was launched in 2009 as Travel Retail exclusive with the high-end expression of the range Oscuro, joining the following year.
Oscuro means ‘Dark” in Spanish and whisky for that edition is drawn exclusively from oak casks seasoned with sherry Oloroso and filled between 1987 and 1997. High proportion of these is first fill what contributes to whisky deep color and intense flavor.

Since the late 2014 Oscuro is presented in high-end design bottles.
