Mackmyra Svensk Whisky AB (publ) presents the launch of Sweden's first 20-year-old single malt whisky. This historic moment not only marks an important milestone for the distillery, but also cements Mackmyra as the Swedish pioneer that has paved the way for Sweden as a world-class producer of craft spirits. This unique whisky has been carefully aged for a full twenty years in ex-bourbon casks, 50 meters underground in the Bodas mine.

The whisky is the result of Mackmyra's elegant recipe and the first Reserve cask to be filled, a historic event that took place on December 20, 2002. Mackmyra No 001 is a single cask, i.e. whisky from only one cask and bottled at cask strength on December 29, 2022. The aroma is characterized by malt notes, old-fashioned vanilla ice cream and ripe pears.

Behind these sweet notes are hints of arrack and spicy citrus. After a while in the glass, the vanilla becomes more prominent with notes of honey.aste: A deep fruitiness with pears, apples and orange. There are also distinct hints of licorice and pepper in the mouth.

At the back there are bitter notes from the oak barrel, like grapefruit, which also contribute to a dry and warming mouthfeel. The sweetness is mainly represented by vanilla and chocolate notes. Aftertaste: The finish is medium in length with distinct fruit sweetness, mild black pepper and slightly bitter grapefruit notes.

Licorice and leather come late in the finish along with oak barrel notes.
