Mackmyra Svensk Rok Single Malt Swedish Whisky (500ml) - old bottling

Launched in 2013 and set to become a regular bottling, this unusual release from the prodigious Swedish distillery is slightly smoky - hence the name "Svensk Rök", meaning "Swedish Smoke". Matured in a mix of 110 and 30 liter casks for an undisclosed period, Mackmyra use smoldering juniper branches to dry some of the malt, (about 70% of this whisky is peated). Expect aromas and flavours of peat, juniper, vanilla, caramel, citrus, pears and raisins.

Other reviews... A very different Mackmyra in both style and sensory texture, Subtlety is the key and time is the lock. Defintely need a good half hour to unpick this one. 46.1% Alc./Vol.
