Interesting fact… Mackmyra First Edition whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Sweden. Had it been produced in America its name would be Mackmyra First Edition whiskey, instead of whisky.

The Master of Malt
I'am Swedish
I think the Swedish whiskey was very good, and I have personally visited Macmyra. Other Whisky one that I recorded in each of the Scapa 12yo was the set that run on me and my scores on the six points each Kent Kreuzer Sweden
Swedish singlemalt?
This Whisky has its own signature indeed. Matured in 30 litres Swedish oak barrels (!) and also stored under ground in deep caves . Its very fruity on the palate and a fresh gery pears to the nose . The quality is stunning but you might be dissapointed compared to scottish whisky wich is much more "woody" I´am from Sweden myself by the way and very happy to find our whiskey on your market!
Very different, very good!
Not sure why the first reviewer only gave this whisky 2 stars considering the positivity of their review, so I shall add some balance by throwing in my opinion. I bought a bottle of this after trying a free dram at the duty free and I absolutely loved it. This is a young whisky (~3-4 years) and tends to leave people thinking "hmm, interesting", yet this whisky shows the character of a much older malt. Brazen in its arrival and develops into a fruity carnival. I really couldn't compare Mackmyra to any Scotch as it is so unique and like nothing I have ever tasted before. At 46.1% ABV there's room for a few drops of water should you wish; I find adding a dash attenuates the alcohol blast and allows one to enjoy the sweet, fruity flavours underneath!
