Mackmyra Destination Single Malt Swedish Whisky (700ml)

Non-peated with one third aged in casks that previously held port wine, 'Destination' is darker, deeper and richer than Mackmyra's Limousin. The nose indicates some red berry pick-up mingling with Bourbony vanillas, while the fruity port input becomes more salient in the delivery. It's a bigger, bolder Mackmyra expression, finishing in a flurry of spices and dark chocolate before fading with a chewy-nutty-malt character and late hints of dried berries. The wine influence is beautifully harmonised. 48.7% Alc./Vol.
The exact cask breakdown is as follows:
