OK, after the pretty disappointing MACK it’s time for the next expression. Not only does the Mackmyra Brukswhisky has a higher strength, but it was also finished in very small (30 liters) sherry casks as well as in casks made of Swedish oak.

Nose

Pretty “green” at first with hey, leaves and green wood. Then cooked bananas emerge, alongside salted almonds with honey coating as well as caramel and mint.

Taste

Oily. Citrus candies, cigar tobacco, lemon wax and fruity toffee. Next come notes of pepper and licorice.

Finish

Medium. Very old wood, pine needles and walnuts.

Overall

Not great but not bad either. A solid entry level expression with a lot of wooden elements

Score: 79 / 100
