The Oscuro was drawn exclusively from ex-sherry casks from the batch distilled between 1987 and 1997, with a high proportion of the casks being first-fills, resulting a very heavy sherry influence, most notably its wonderfully deep burnish colour, hence the name "Oscuro", which means "dark" in the Spanish language.

The maturation of this expression involves thinning down the cask strength whiskies with spring water to it's optimal 46.5% volume, more than six months before bottling, allowing the spring water to slowly marry into the eau de vie and perfectly harmonise with the character of the butts.
