Mackmyra Whisky - Review Of The Whisky

The idea was to create a Swedish whisky and not to copy a Scottish one.
After testing and testing and many whisky reviews they finally found the recipe for a Swedish whisky with Swedish ingredients under Swedish conditions.

In 2002 they installed new equipment and started the full-scale production,
although it is a small production compared with the big dragons.

The recipe is two kinds of whisky, one fruity and elegant and the other smoky.
Juniper twigs and bog moss peat from the local area is used for the smoky version.

Three types of casks are used, bourbon, sherry or virgin Swedish oak.
When you order a cask you can combine one of the whiskies with any of the casks.

Normally a single malt whisky has to mature at least 10 years to be good and enjoyable,but in the 30-litre casks it takes only about 3 years to mature and be enjoyable.

After 3 years you can do a whisky review of your own cask whenever you like,
so you can decide when it is time to bottle it.
You can bottle it twice if you like. The minimum amount of bottles (0.5 litre) are 12 pcs.

A whisky review of the different kinds shows that a smoky whisky in a Swedish oak cask matures quickest. It is ready for bottling after 3 years and it is a very good one, dark in colour, full body and smooth.

The other combinations can mature longer but not more than 6 years, otherwise the whisky will take to much taste from the cask (wood).
