Mackmyra, Sweden
Mackmyra, Sweden
Distillery
This particular expression is a blend of 5YO whiskies from several fresh bourbon casks.
Mackmyra try to be as eco-friendly as possible. All their barley is Swedish and they have a specially designed distillery which operates using gravity! Barley is loaded in on floor 7 and spirit flows all the way down to the new spirit store on floor 1 to be filled into cask.
Master blender Angela D’Orazio has been on board for over 15 years after spells with Glenmorangie and the SMWS. Her skills helped Mackmyra win European Spirit producer of the year in 2012!
About the Label
This label is set deep in the forests of Sweden. In the foreground is Angela D’Orazio – the head distiller, styled like one of the elves from lord of the rings (complete with a tiara, and the elf-ears, naturally…). There is a small trug full of cloudberries sitting beside a 100 litre cask that’s outside the Bodås mine. Once an iron ore mine, and now one of Mackmyra’s main warehouses. The cloudberries have been removed on this label and corn cobs lie by the base of the tree.
