Mackmyra First Edition

Country: Sweden

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46.1%

Score: 85 Points

After several years of preview releases, this is the first official single malt release from Sweden’s Mackmyra Distillery. Mackmyra uses juniper wood as part of its barley drying process, and this gives the malt an herbal touch that redefines the term. The nose and taste are full of rosemary and lavender, as well as some mint, and this remains consistent through the nose, taste, and finish.
