Mackmyra Svensk Ek Swedish Single Malt Whisky

Svensk Ek is a rare gem when it comes to character.

The powerful Swedish oak casks and all-natural Swedish ingredients bring notes of dried ginger, sweet caramel and spicy oak.

Its quite a character

Never before had one matured whisky in virgin Swedish Oak casks. The result was a whisky full of flavour, yet subtle.

The cell structure and shape of lactones in Swedish oak differs compared to American oak and is the reason behind its unique character.

The logic of local

In Sweden, we say Why cross the river to fetch water?. And Mackmyra is no exception.

The barley is Swedish and the yeast is the same Swedish yeast that you will find in every Swedish household.

Last but not least, we use crystal clear water from the Valbo ridge naturally filtered through pebblestones.

TASTING NOTES

Nose:Fruity aroma of pear, apricot, and zesty citrus. Sweet tones of vanilla fudge and honey. Spicier tones of ginger and pepper.

Taste:The taste lives up to the promise of the aroma with pear, citrus, and dried ginger. The sweet tones now lean towards caramel, sweet almonds, and slightly bready notes. The taste also reveals spicy oak influences.

Aftertaste:The aftertaste is long and warming. Sweet milk chocolate balances the robust oak influences and the spicy pepper and ginger.
