Mackmyra Aged 3 Years Single Malt Swedish Whisky Batch 1 – That Boutique-Y Whisky Company (500ml)

Volume: 500ml           ABV: 47.2%           Age: 3 Years Old     Country: Scotland

Should you find yourself near an imposing and immovable-looking wall surrounded by a grove of cloudberries in the forests of Sweden, look for the moonlight to guide you to a doorway etched in the rocks. An inscription will glow upon the archway, instructing you of how to enter. Don’t bother with incantations or hexes. Those will get you nowhere. The inscription is a riddle. Answer correctly and the walls will shift, allowing you to enter the Mackmyra distillery, home to many superb Swedish single malts – and we’ve bottled some for you! Mackmyra have experimented with maturing whisky in casks that previously contained cloudberry wine, and whispers among the trees (or are they ents?) suggest that some of that whisky has made it into this expression…

Official Tasting Notes

Nose:  Marzipan, juicy apricot and raspberry, hints of brown sugar.

Palate: Pastries filled with quince jam. Cherry Bakewell and cinnamon.

Finish: Rather long and sweet, though a prickle of peppercorn does develop.
