“Why are there no whisky distilleries Sweden?” one of the friends asked. None of the others could answer the question, leaving it floating in the air.

In Sweden, we find one of the world’s purest water, filtered to perfection since the Ice Age. I t is no coincidence that the distillery is located next to a boulder with constant access to the crystal clear waters. Our Swedish barley develops a special sweetness during the long summer days, a sweetness that has become one of the cornerstones of our whisky.

A large part of our whisky is stored in new Swedish oak barrels. Swedish oak grows slowly in our harsh climate and gives the whisky a more full bodied flavor than American oak. Our whisky gets a fiery spice balanced by sweetness similar to caramelized sugar.

Today we produce whisky with the same joy of discovery and experimentation as we did when starting in 1999, but in one of the world’s most modern distilleries. We do it our way and with Swedish ingredients. We produce whisky without additives and with as little environmental impact as possible.

“After several years off the market, this welcome return from Mackmyra was composed from a mixture of cask types, including Swedish oak, and matured underground in the Bodås mine. Floral notes, honey, citrus, vanilla, and pears poached in cream, with balancing tartness from gooseberry and grapefruit. A delicious summer whisky with sweet lemon biscuits, clementine, apricot, vanilla fudge, and active spices which mellow to expose banana, honeydew melon, and a finish of bitter lemon and mixed peel.”
