Mackmyra First Edition Swedish Single Malt Whisky 46.1%

Wine information: Mackmyra First Edition is the new generation of Swedish malt whisky, produced using Swedish ingredients at the Mackmyra Bruk mill, which has a tradition of craftsmanship dating back to the 17th century. Much of the whisky in The 1st Edition has been stored in 100-litre casks, which produces an exciting, powerful ageing process. Mackmyra also use newly manufactured Swedish oak casks, made using oak that was planted on the island of Visingsö 160 years ago and intended for use in building warships for the Swedish navy. The Whisky is aged in the Bodås mine, 50 metres down inside the primary rock.

Tasting Notes: Mackmyra First Edition is light yellow in colour, with hints of amber. The nose is fruity with citrus, pear, apple, honey, light oak with hints of lightly toasted bread and fresh, buttery caramel. The flavour is fruity and subtle, with citrus, caramel and honey. A light hint of oak can be noted at the end. The aftertaste is well-adjusted and balanced, with hints of dark chocolate. For optimal flavour, the alcohol strength has been adjusted to 46.1% using naturally purified water from the Valbo Ridge.
