The history of the Swedish distillery Mackmyra can be traced back to 1998, when eight friends met for a ski trip together. After noticing that everyone had brought a bottle of single malt whiskey for the host, the group began to philosophize about the making of Swedish whiskey. A year later Mackmyra was founded. After further years of experimentation, two recipes were finally created for the production of their own single malt: Elegant (without smoke) and Rök (with smoke).

Mackmyra Brukswhisky Vintage 2008 first matured in a combination of former bourbon and sherry casks and then received a post-maturation in fresh Swedish oak casks (Virgin Oak). Bottled in 2021 with 41.4 vol. % alcohol, without coloring and not chill-filtered.

Aroma: Mixture of spicy and sweet with toasted notes, citrus and herbs, dry wood, delicate smoke.

Taste: Fruity with gooseberries and pears, creamy vanilla, mild spices and herbs.
