Mackmyra Vintersol (Winter Sun) Swedish Single Malt Whisky 70cl

Mackmyra Vintersol Swedish Single Malt Whisky, port cask finish, rich vanilla, chocolate, pepper, raisins. This lovely addition to the Mackmyra range is produced in collaboration with Quinta Do Vallado in Portugal, as it is finished in their Port casks. This gives a wonderfully hedonistic profile, with notes of vanilla, raisin, berries, fudge, chocolate and spice. A must for lovers of wine cask finishes, and of those richer, after-dinner whiskies.

Mackmyra was the first Whisky producing distillery in Sweden, set up in 1999. The water they use is some of the purest found anywhere in the world, and the long daylight hours in summer produce barley with a sweetness that has become one of their trademark flavours. The use of Swedish over American oak (a much hardier wood due to the climate) lends a fiery, caramelised spice note to their whiskies. Several years later, they have gone from strength to strength and continue to experiment with new techniques and flavours to produce innovative and delicious whiskies, always with no additives, 100% Swedish ingredients and low impact on the environment.
