The spirit was distilled at Mackmyra Bruk in 2010-2011 and was matured in ex-Bourbon casks, as well as distillates matured in casks that were saturated with cherry wine to give the whisky a fruity sweetness.
“In my opinion, a mature and smoky whisky such as this, with final maturing in cherry wine casks, is a real ‘end-of-the-year’ whisky. It is the perfect accompaniment to a Roquefort cheese or a soft, mature Brie at the end of a nice dinner with family and friends in the autumn darkness. It has a nicely distinct smoky character that doesn’t dominate the other finely-tuned flavours in the whisky too much,” says Mackmyra master blender Angela D’Orazio.
